Yeah, I didn't count that for the same reason I didn't count 'Stillbirth' by Alice Glass and 'Dear Tommy' by Chromatics in their respective albums, they just have too much uncertainty and so on about it to actually be able to know if it's going to be part of their album or not. Alice Glass released Stillbirth 2 years ago and she still doesn't have her debut out despite having left Crystal Castles in 2014.
The National revealed the title of their upcoming album (Sleep Well Beast), the release date (September 8th) via 4AD. They also released a track from the album, titled 'The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness'.

Numan said it will be on the album, so you're good to include it now. :)
How can you have any pudding if you won't eat your meat?
Have been listening to this track a lot the last couple days! Also first listened to Ariel Pink a couple days ago (I always knew he collaborated with Weyes Blood -of whom is one of my favorites- but still never checked out his solo stuff till just a couple days ago and like it a lot!
Also - Mac DeMarco's new album is fucking awesome! <3
This track (this entire album + ep associated with it) is the most impressive work of art in recent memory. Each track is about a different time-period put in a situation of a person within that time period (for example; the rise and fall of King Louis XIV during the French Revolution - and that's just one track, each track is about different time-periods and themes), as well as deep-lying themes about war, greed and lust. ASOIAF fans would love it.
Most of their other albums don't really do it for me; but this was their most cleverly experimental and is in my opinion their magnum opus. Fucking love it! <3
