Steely Dan will perform complete albums on their upcoming US tour and have hinted there is also new music on the way.
It has been ten years since the last Steely Dan album, Everything Must Go, with no word on when or if there would be a follow up.
During a conference call with reporters, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen teased reporters with the idea that one might actually be in the works, although it sounds like it might be a bit off. Becker told Billboard “It’s in the air, it really is. It’s just a smell now. The next thing is then you taste it, then you start to feel it. You know how this goes.”
Fagen went on to say that some of the music dates back to 1984. Becker added “We have a bunch of things. Put it this way; any other band in the world would have finished or mixed these old things that were lying around and issued them with a great ta-da fanfare. But we just don’t. We don’t play it like that, necessarily. It’s not the way we roll.”
