Polyvinyl Unveils Of Montreal's "Satanic Twins"

Published Thursday, June 22, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Polyvinyl has launched a page promoting the upcoming Of Montreal remix album, now given a title: Satanic Twins. A gatefold double-LP set, the first record will contain Satanic Panic in the Attic remixes, while the second will contain remixes from Sunlandic Twins. It's scheduled for release August 22. If you visit the page, you can download two of the tracks, "Disconnect the Dots (Mixel Pixel)" and "Forecast Fascist Future (IQU)". In addition to the limited edition (2000 copies) LP set, it will also be available in "digital format" directly from Polyvinyl, but not in CD, because that's sooooo 2006. You can see the typically gorgeous David Barnes artwork above. (On a side note, wasn't !!! supposed to be contributing to this album? Guess they got dropped.) UPDATE: MP3 versions of the freebie tracks are up at You Ain't No Picasso.

If that weren't enough, Pitchfork has announced that Kevin Barnes has begun a project called Ocelot Fang with Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT, for a record to be released in 2007, roundabout the time we should be seeing the all-new Of Montreal album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (They also report that the Of Montreal video for "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games" will be airing on MTV2's Subterranean this week, and that later this year--"late October and early November"--the band plans to tour Europe and Japan.)
