Yep Rock/Simian Records is taking pre-orders for the new Apples in Stereo album, New Magnetic Wonder, at their website. 250 "SuperFan Packs" are being offered exclusively on the website until December 10. Those who order the pack are guaranteed a (vinyl) copy of the album before Christmas, as well as a CD, autographed poster, and...well...here's the full listing:

* New Magnetic Wonder LP
Limited edition double gatefold LP pressed on 180 gram vinyl includes a 12"x 24" poster by Andrew McLaughlin (popcollage.com) as well as an exclusive bonus track, "Atom Bomb" (you'll receive it by Christmas! Yes!)
* New Magnetic Wonder Enhanced CD
Enhanced CD contains many hidden gems, including Robert Schneider's very own "Non-Pythagorean Scale" with MIDI files and explanation for fan usage, as well as films, an extra mp3, song lyrics and liner notes (you'll receive it on release date, February 6)
* Autographed Apples Poster featuring the winning design from The Apples logo design contest (arrival by Christmas! Double yes!)
* Limited Edition T-Shirt featuring winning design from logo design contest
Available in adult sizes S, M, L, and XL (arrival on February 6)
* FREE Apples holiday song, "Holiday Mood" – instantly available for download in your Stash!
* FREE "Can You Feel It?" ringtone

Let it be noted that the "Holiday Mood" song is an Apples in Stereo remake of the Marbles version which appeared a couple years ago on the single Christmas with Marbles. It's lovely.

I ordered my Super FanPack. You should too. Note that if you don't want to shell out $55 for the Super FanPack, just pre-ordering the album will get you free downloads of the "Holiday Mood" song and the "Can You Feel It?" ringtone.

You can also take a look at the album artwork at that website.

To top it off, Pitchfork reports that the Apples in Stereo have been hand-picked by Yoko Ono to contribute to her remix album, Yes, I'm a Witch, which will be released by Astralwerks in February (same month as New Magnetic Wonder--a good month, a very good month). The Apples will be covering "No One Can See Me Like You Do." Other artists contributing to the record include Cat Power, The Flaming Lips, The Polyphonic Spree, and more.
