Pitchfork

From the galleries of the world to your music playing contraption comes Ye Viols!, the latest LP from Lithops. Lithops is the solo project of Jan St. Werner of Mouse on Mars, and Ye Viols! is a collection of pieces St. Werner crafted for a number of art installations all over the planet.

The set arrives January 27 from Thrill Jockey as both a CD with a recycled paper cover hand-printed with vegetable inks, and an LP coupled with a download. Each is available in an edition of 1,000, and each comes with a poster so you can do your own little installation at home while jamming out to Ye Viols! Awww ye.

Jan has been working up tunes for a new collaboration with Croatian artist David Maljkovic to be shown in Geneva next year, but he'll take a break to hit the road with Mouse on Mars for a few dates this month.
