El-P - I'll Sleep When
You're Dead
El-P is back. Read all the gory details at Pitchfork.
"Four years after the release of his first solo record, Fantastic Damage, Def Jux label head El-P is finally finishing its follow-up, the previously reported I'll Sleep When You're Dead. The always busy producer-rapper said, "It just feels good to be on the mic again," when he spoke to Pitchfork yesterday about the album, which he hopes to release March 6 on Def Jux.
His collaborators on I'll Sleep When You're Dead include Trent Reznor, the Mars Volta, Aesop Rock, Cage, Mr. Lif (whose track "might end up becoming a bonus cut" due to scheduling), Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio), Matt Sweeney (Chavez/Bonnie "Prince" Billy/Zwan), James McNew (Yo La Tengo), Rob Sonic, Mr. Dibbs, and Cat Power (more on that later)."

Finally, Brookville will be taking the full band out on the road all November, co-headlining dates all over the US and Canada with French pop rock sensations Tahiti 80. Brookville frontman Andy Chase produced the 1st Tahiti80 album, and so this tour is a long-awaited respite for fans of hummable, strummable melodies, with class. Details here or here.
Andy will be speaking on a CMJ Panel: "Road Warriors" - Tales from the Touring Trenches. Andy used to play in Ivy, who toured internationally with the likes of Edwyn Collins and St. Etienne, while, Brookville has toured with Goldfrapp. Join us on Thursday, Nov 2, 2:30-3:30pm @ Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.
Andy also just completed producing & mixing the song "Mr. Loverman" for the movie TRAINWRECK: My Life as an Idiot, directed by Tod Harrison Williams. The song is performed by Brookville with vocals by Gretchen Mol who is the lead in the film. The film is in post-production and is due for release some time next year.
