Pitchfork reported this today:
"Jim Yoshii Pile-Up, Xiu Xiu and Insound all walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve homoerotic-artsy-emo-breakup-slowcore-spastic-indie-mogul bands/websites here." JYPU, Xiu Xiu and Insound all look at each other, take off their clothes, snap pictures of naked Asian boys, think about past relationships, and in unison say, "I'm a frayed knot." Thank you, I'll be here all week.
In a mind-melding amalgamation of East Bay depresso-rock, San Jose art-rock destruction and NYC indie-rock business savvy, Insound will be releasing a split from Jim Yoshii Pile Up and Xiu Xiu as a tour support EP. Vol. 27 in the Insound series will be available on July 1st from the website, and will also be available from the bands themselves.
The JYPU contribution will consist of three new songs recorded with Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie), which will also appear on their new record due out next spring, and a cover of a Casiotone for the Painfully Alone song called "Seattle, WA." The Xiu Xiu contribution will consist of four new songs from their forthcoming record, of which details unknown at this time. This will be the first new material from JYPU since 2002's wonderfully mournful Homemade Drugs. Xiu Xiu, on the other hand, is just shitting out new music this year. Someone call Bob Pollard!"
Tracklist:
01 Seattle, WA (JYPU)
02 Bunny Gamer (XX)
03 The Conversation Stalls (JYPU)
04 Fabulous Muscles (XX)
05 Birthday Cake (JYPU)
06 Little Panda McElroy (XX)
07 Christmas Card (JYPU)
08 Nieces Pieces (XX)
I'm glad they're already working on their new album.
