The Instruments : Dark Småland

I’m a huge Circulatory System fan, so when I got a tip that CS/Japancakes member Heather McIntosh has a collaborative project called The Instruments, I was super pyched. Turns out, there’s a new album, Dark SmÃ¥land (Orange Twin Records), that features other Elephant Six alums, including Jeff Mangum. Here are two tracks off the new disc:

The Instruments : “Ode To The Sea” (mp3)
The Instruments : “Sounds Electric” (mp3)

Heather McIntosh has also joined Gnarls Barkley as the touring bassist and cellist for the current U.S. tour. V. cool!
