New Songs/Is the band no longer with Warner/Reprise?
I think I remember reading that Fleetwood Mac is technically without a record deal right now.
I'm wondering if that frees them up to release the new songs their own way, digitally - from the band website. If so, I'm guessing that's why we haven't seen them yet, haven't heard about a title for the EP and why I haven't been able to find an official release date anywhere! In the old days I would always call the record company to find out release dates (music nerd alert). I love that they can go indie with these new songs, but I'm really wanting some info, as I know everyone else is too. Maybe they'll use the company that released Lindsey's live album?? |

They are, indeed, currently without a label. The Best Of was their last release for the label, then they did a one up for SAY YOU WILL (we all know how well THAT turned out!)
Going indie can be a double-edged sword....you have more power and more control, and all the money goes into your pocket, but there's very little advertising/marketing done, thus causing many an album to tank. There are exceptions to this rule.....Aimee Mann has been releasing her own stuff for over a decade to continued success, while Bonnie Raitt just had one of the biggest albums of her career ~ not to mention a Grammy winner! ~ with her first release on her own label, her first album in seven years! The indie route takes work and effort, and to be honest, I just can't see the Mac doing that....I think they like the idea of it being done for them. I just don't think there are many labels out there willing to sign the band UNLESS they come up with a KILLER album! |

so - all this leads me to wonder:
How the hell do we find out where and when the new music is coming out? |

If that's the case, is it even possible to release the EP on Itunes?

Yes, there are many digital music distributors such as Tunecore and CD Baby that can arrange simultaneous distribution through just about any digital outlet.

I think Dave Stewart should produce the next Fleetwood Mac album.
I thought he did a great job with In Your Dreams (even though I really hate Moonlight and Cheaper Than Free). |

TOTALLY agree.....I've been wanting either Stevie or the band to work with Rick Rubin for years! And after seeing what T-Bone did with Lisa Marie Presley, I also think that combination would be VERY cool! And I think Matt Serletic (Matchbox Twenty) could be a smart move as well! Couldn't disagree with you more....I think he's the LAST person that should produce Fleetwood Mac! While the production on IYD was nice enough, I think the band is just too....much....for him. They need someone with A LOT more depth! |

i really hope they don't go with any major labels. they should just release on Lindsey's label and hire a great marketing team (did you see Bowie's campaign? now that worked!) and some new management that actually realizes it's been 21st century for a while now, instead of whoever are the clowns they currently use.

i like mitchell froom a lot, but i'm not sure that he's right for their sound.
i worry that his sound is too dated now. worked well for so many artists in the 80's and 90's, but i would like to see them work with someone a little more adventurous/current. |

I've been saying its time to move on and find a new label for years and try something different.
Other bands try other music styles.
