Chris Rediske reports:
For men so devoted to the slow, careful
development of sound, Ohio's Six Parts Seven sure
like to keep busy. First up is a split EP with
fellow Ohioites The Black Keys, which, although
Six Parts Seven's role only consists of only one
track, promises to offer "a blissful taste of
what's to come on their fourth full-length,"
according to the Suicide Squeeze website. The
Black Keys' offerings are slightly more
substantial, with three tracks culled from a live
recording on WMBR-- one song from each of their
full-lengths, and one from an early Alive Records
seven-incher. The CD EP came out just last week
on Suicide Squeeze. Tracklist:

01 Six Parts Seven: "A Blueprint of Something
Never Finished"
02 The Black Keys: "Thickfreakness" [live on
WMBR]
03 The Black Keys: "The Moan" [live on WMBR]
04 The Black Keys: "Yearniní" [live on WMBR]

Second on the docket is the November release of
Six Parts Seven's (sorta) remix project, also on
Suicide Squeeze. Titled Lost Notes From Forgotten
Songs, the album consists of tracks from their
back catalog, in addition to the new track above,
bequeathed to indie luminaries like Isaac Brock
of Modest Mouse and David Bazan of Pedro the Lion
for vocal additions, massive reworkings, and/or
basically whatever the chosen artist wanted to do
to them. You can download a taste of the album
from the Suicide Squeeze website in the form of
the Iron & Wine-overdubbed version of "Sleeping
Diagonally." Overly-clever titling concept aside
(see below), it bodes well for the project as a
whole. In any case, Lost Notes From Forgotten
Songs is scheduled for release on November 11th
(though Suicide Squeeze has it available for
pre-order as we speak). Tracklist:

01 Sleeping Diagonally (re-made by Sam Beam of
Iron & Wine)
02 On Marriage (re-defined by Jenn Ghetto & Mat
Brooke of Carissa's Weird)
03 From California to Houston, on Lightspeed
(re-volutionized by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse)
04 Song of Impossible Things (re-alized by Will
Johnson of Centro-matic)
05 Seems Like Most Everything Used to be
Something Else (re-assembled by Pall Jenkins of
The Black Heart Procession)
06 Attitudes of Collapse (re-shaped by John
Atkins of The Magic Magicians)
07 Now Like Photographs (re-invented by Brian
Straw)
08 Cold Things Never Catch Fire (re-vitalized by
Katie Eastburn of Young People)
09 A Blueprint of Something Never Finished
(re-deemed by David Bazan of Pedro the Lion)

And what do you do once you've released a split
EP and a remix album, but you're not quite ready
to head into the studio and record your next
album? Why, you tour, of course. No, it may not
be an original idea, but they're married to it
anyway-- those Six Parts Seven t-shirts won't
wear themselves, people! They hit most of the
