Iamsalvador, I haven't heard of it, but if it's confirmed, that would sound like a nice little supergroup... By the way, I thought some of you might be interested in reading a full interview with Peter Broderick now online on http://www.GoodMorninCaptn.com

I've heard that Ólafur Arnalds, Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) and Josh Todd (Bark Cat Bark) have teamed up together to record something for some charity CD... Anyone confirm this?

I went to the Erased Tapes night at Camden's Roundhouse in December, every single act was stunning, even though they all sound very different. Definitely the best new label around!!
