Patrick Wolf's long-lost fraternal twin brother (okay, not really) Simon Bookish strikes back this month with a brand new full-length and another ode to the forward slash.

Described as a "big band song cycle about science and information," Everything/Everything is Simon's third full-length and the follow-up to last year's captivatingly strange Trainwreck/Raincheck. The 11-track set will arrive October 7 in Europe and October 21 in the U.S. thanks to Bookish's new label Tomlab.

If the man's name rings a bell, you may recall his remixes for Grizzly Bear and Franz Ferdinand, or his recorder-playing-- under his given name of Leo Chadburn-- on records by Saint Etienne and the aforementioned Wolf.

At the moment, Mr. Bookish has just three shows on the docket, all UK engagements immediately following the overseas release of Everything/Everything. And hey, while we're fabricating relationships between Simon and other eclectic Brits, here's another one: the long-lost son of Jarvis Cocker.
