Anyone else looking forward to this? She's had a few false starts by Sky Ferreira's album is finally coming. It's entitled "Night Time, My Time" and comes out 29/10/13 in the US with a WW release in early 2014.
"You're Not the One" is the first single - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFCZP1Nz3Ds

I think she'll have pretty limited commercial success but a couple of reviewers are already raving about it. "Everything is Embarrassing" from last year was a surprise jem aswell.

Funnily enough, nothing else in her catalogue comes close to the amazingness of Everything Is Embarrassing.
I don't think she's dismissing the song as such.. more like the production. Alot of people have asked her whether it's representative of the whole album, which it's not and she's just keen to point it out.
She probably won't do much better than EIE I agree but to be fair she hasn't really released much material to compare it to (of the last 12 months anyway).
EIE was brilliant but she doesn't want one song to define her as an artist. YNTO is a brilliant single and bodes well for the rest of the album!
The artwork already looks iconic!
Sky was asked recently whether she'd work with Dev Hynes again but mentioned that Solange has really captured that 80's vibe now. Which I agree with. Dev produced the whole of Solange's EP and Losing You sounds like the counterpart to EIE. I'm personally glad she's gone with Ariel Rechtshaid and Jon Brion. Lost in My Bedroom and Sad Dream were my favourites from the Ghost EP.
edit: tracklisting
Everything Is Embarrassing was probably one of my favourite songs of last year. Lost In My Bedroom was amazing too and Sad Dream is just beautiful. Ghost, I could never really get into but I didn't like Red Lips one bit, I was so disappointed thinking that was the kind of music she'd be making now. This 80's sound pop with alternative influences, I like and I'll definitely give the album a chance. Ariel Rechtstaid is fabulous and I think I prefer Ariel with Sky and Dev with Solange anyway.
The majority of "Cry Baby" (the original first album) has leaked in it's entirety and other than One, I think the majority of it is best left on the cutting room floor. It's material Katy Perry, Britney, Rihanna had all rejected aswell as about 3 other artists before it finally reached Sky.
Two very positive reviews.

Heavy Metal Heart, I Will and I Blame Myself are screaming to be singles but Nobody Asked (If I Was OK), Omanko and Kristine are my favourites but I am in love with every track tbh.
The album is fantastic, I agree. I'm so pleased she was able to grow as an artist, the wait was definitely worth it. Omanko is the standout for me at the moment.
US/Canada/Mexico only for now. No idea if it'll receive a release outside these territories as the label cancelled the vinyl and physical release.
In other news the album reached #10 on US iTunes, quite a feat considering You're Not the One didn't get sent for adds and she's done no promo aside from a few magazine interviews.

Anyway at the end of the month Sky's label are putting out a B-Sides EP containing songs that didn't make Night Time, My Time.
A part 2 looks like it will follow containing a few other tracks aswell

I think that's probably due in part to the shoddy release of the album. With very little promotion from her label, no proper physical release and the digital album just dumped online with little prior warning outside the US, it's not surprising that the album isn't getting a great deal of attention from most people. It's such a shame, because she has a lot of potential and there's some great stuff on the album. Looking forward to hearing the extra tracks too!
easily the best album of 2013 for me
