LINUS PAULING QUARTET WILL THUNDER DOWN UNDER

WE LOVE emails that contain the subject line "Shameless Self Promotion." No seriously, spending our lunch hours and evenings scouring the internet and reading countless myspace bullitens just to drag out a story idea or two is, well, making us hungry and single. SO, it's mad refreshing when a someone has the gumption to send us the deets on something they're up to in advance. Especially something like NEW ALBUM DETAILZ.

The Linus Pauling Quartet, about whom our favorite critical comment about is "A large red sticker proclaiming WEIRD ALERT could not make things plainer" (Q Magazine), has just had their upcoming LP picked up by the Austrailian label Camera Obscura. All Things Are Light will be released late summer in a limited run of 500 on purple vinyl (it will also include a CDR of the tracks for folks like us who are way behind in getting all their records on to YE OLDE IPOD).

In the meantime, the Linus Pauling Quartet isn't playing any shows and doesn't have any scheduled. Oh. Well, i guess, in the meantime meantime, you can go download some tracks from their previous releases here. Crikey.
