Casper & the Cookies Schedule Upcoming Releases

Published Wednesday, April 11, 2007 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Casper & the Cookies are somehow finding time, amidst all the rampant touring, to put together some more recordings for you to snatch up. According to their MySpace blog, they've got the following in the pipeline (I'm quoting them directly to save time):

As-yet-untitled ep
Release date: June 19, 2007
Label: HHBTM
Track list to include new recordings / rearrangements of "Krötenwanderung" and "The Optimist's Credo" and new material. This will be a one-sided 12" vinyl release with a silk screened print on the other side. Limited to 200 copies. For the turntable-deficient, the package includes a cd-r version with extra tracks.

The Optimist's Club (vinyl)
Release date: July 17, 2007
Label: People In A Position To Know (PIAPTK) Same track listing as the CD issue with a bonus track ("Stratosphere") and new artwork. 500 copies.

HHBTM singles club: split 7" with Marbles
[Go to HHBTM to subscribe while you can - copies are going fast.]

PIAPTK Subscription Club Split 8" release with Keith John Adams

On PIAPTK with Keith John Adams, recorded on tour one morning before noon. Comes in a sleeve knitted by Kay Stanton. Limited to 50 copies, hand pressed.

HHBTM compilation vol. 4 (CD)
HHBTM family and distant kin meet up to show you their stuff.

The band is also hoping to complete their new album this year, perhaps to be released by year's end. It should be noted that the PIAPTK subscription club will also feature such luminaries as Of Montreal and Norfolk and Western, among many others. Pre-orders are not yet being taken, but you can keep checking at the Olympia label's website for details.
