I guess it's not necessary to mention that their sophomore album didn't come out last autumn as they said last year, so I'm wondering if they are planning to release it this year or in 2016, since there's not much information right now. Also, as a side note, after the success of the DJ Snake remix of "You Know You Like It" is having right now in the US, it would be interesting to see if they go with something new (most probably, of course) or something from Body Music ("Attracting Flies" would be, definitely, my first choice) to keep some momentum if the album isn't coming this year.
As the article from Billboard mentions on the tweet above, AlunaGeorge performed new tracks from their upcoming album at Brooklyn's Rough Trade yesterday and it's mentioned by them that the new ones 'channeled the loose, synthetic feel of their first project'. Excited!

Aluna Francis from AlunaGeorge was interviewed by Billboard, where she talked to them about the success of "You Know You Like It", the trend of DJs and producers to take old songs and give them a late boost and the progress of their upcoming sophomore album, which will be released next year. You can read it in the link of the Facebook post above or here.

Aluna Francis was interviewed by Billboard, where she mentioned that their sophomore album will be released this spring and the lead single from the project, "In Control", which features Popcaan, will be out next Friday. From Billboard: AlunaGeorge and Flume is happening! :'( Also, looks like Interscope is going to push them in the States. YES!!!

Despite the article from Billboard mentioned that I Remember was going to be released before their Coachella performance (h/t Kurt because he was the one who kindly told me that), Universal Music Japan is reporting that it will be out on April 29. However, Aluna was interviewed by NRJ and she confirmed that it will be released during their festival performances, although she slipped a May release. As a side note, Aluna mentioned a month ago to Matt and Alex's triple j Breakfast show that the title track is their collaboration with Flume! (around the 1:53 min. mark) https%3A//soundcloud.com/triple_j/aluna-from-alunageorge-drops-new-track-im-in-control

AlunaGeorge played at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami yesterday and the tracks "I Remember" and "Heartbreak Horizon" were shown during the livestream. Regarding the former, it was the second time they performed it, being the first one during the SXSW event a couple of days ago, while the latter has been played by them since last year. As a side note, if they did the same setlist in UMF as SXSW, which is certainly unknown for now because AlunaGeorge's livestream was only for 30 minutes, two new tracks could have been played as well, being them "Mediator" and "My Blood".

I assume the new track refers to the title track, which will be premiered this Wednesday on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show as the Hottest Record, unless they are planning to put the album for pre-order on iTunes and the 'new track' will be out as an instant grat this week. Either way, I can't wait!

I had big expectations for their debut album after the stellar White Noise with Disclosure. I was mostly dissapointed with Body Music... I only liked Attracting Flies, the rest was boring.
This new album sounds promising. I like everything they released so far

I'm thinking of seeing them again in June. Flume actually introduced me to them when I saw him in concert last year. They were his opening act. So far, I've enjoyed all that I've heard from this new record.

AlunaGeorge is going to support Sia on her Nostalgic For the Present Tour this Fall.
As a side note, the album will be out on September 9 according to PlayIGA. Although I want it now, I guess it was expected to happen, but not that far. Anyway, I hope the pre-order for the album comes out soon and if it's considered that PlayIGA unveiled the release date, I assume they are going to promote another track from them in the US. I mean, "I'm In Control" is likely done, so I hope the title track could be pushed there. However, if that track didn't do too much and it's really mainstream, it doesn't look too good for "I Remember" and "My Blood". Hope I'm proven wrong of course.

September is a bit too late. I feel they're gonna lose the little bit of momentum that they have.

Even with You Know You Like It doing fairly well (I think?) on radio, I am not too surprised. Their profile is so small. It seems like their fan base is limited mostly to people attending music festivals. I don't see this available in stores anywhere but I might order it from Amazon or something.

This album is amazing from start to end! I like it more than Body Music (which I also loved), it just feels more mature. I wish they'd score a hit from it. Living for Full Swing and Not Above Love right now.

They released their new single called "Superior Emotion" today, which features Cautious Clayton. The track will be included on their upcoming EP entitled Champagne Eyes due out on October 5.
Also, Aluna confirmed to i-D that they parted ways with their label.
