Bitchfork is reporting that JV’s followup
to Life and Death of an American Fourtracker
is nearing completion. And yes, that closest-human-equivalent-of-the-Muppet’s-Animal,
Christopher McGuire (of Kid Dakota) is still on drums. Here’s the tracklist (I believe
the opener “Cellar Door”, is about Donnie Darko. Did I mention that JV is Da Man?)

01 Cellar Door

02 Up Above The Sea
03 Wild Strawberries
04 When It Hits My Blood
05 Lunar Landscapes

06 A Bomb In Reverse
07 My Family Tree
08 Untitled
09 Heated Pool and Bar
10 They Won’t Let Me Run
11 June July

Expected release date is August 26th.

Also, did you know you can download Mass Suicide Occult Figurines in it’s entirety @ 256k mp3? And I know I just said this, but’s pretend I didn’t, so I can say it again: Did I mention that JV is Da Man?
