new Sparklehorse!

apparently, the new long-awaited album by Sparklehorse will be out this September. As I recall, he (Mark Linkous) worked with Dave Fridmann back in 2004 as well as semi-recently with Danger Mouse (apparently the results of the latter collaboration are quite different than Mark's previous works).
