Albatross Note

In keeping with the scattershot, semi-impromptu, d.i.y. aesthetic of the Karyo Tengoku record, I thought you might be interested in hearing this record by Albatross Note. Bizarrely enough it is a 9" record, the only one I've ever seen or heard of in this format. The vinyl is a beautiful, marblized green, and the cover art is by the awesome artist Marcel Dzama, who is also the lead singer. There's some info about the band at evilevil, which I am excerpting here:

"Albatross Note is situated in the centre of Canada, in the city of Winnipeg. It is a city of extreme cold, where the temperature can plummet to as low as minus 55 degrees for weeks at a time. The group began as a Yoko Ono and Lee Hazelwood cover band with Marcel's 10-year-old sister, Hollie Dzama, on vocals. This influence can still be heard in the music, which is a mix of honesty and unpretentiousness."
