According to an official press release, IDM entity Dntel will be releasing a new full-length album on Plug Research Records. Entitled Life Is Full of Possibilities, this recording attempts to bring an organic sentiment to the more traditional clicks, bleeps, and blorks of the electronic music idiom. Notable in this natural feel is the addition of "fluctuating guitar snidbits" to the mix-- either a humorous typo, or a revolutionary form of industrial guitarwork. We're thinking maybe both.

Dntel man-behind-the-curtain Jimmy Tamborello (ex-Strictly Ballroom) has brought in his other ex-Strictly Ballroom mates Chris Gunst and Paul Larson for the project, as well a bunch of friends to lend vocals and instrumentation to the songs. This wide-ranging set includes-- but is not limited to-- Mia Doi Todd, Meredith Figurine, Rachel Haden (ex-That Dog), Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), and Brian McMahan (The For Carnation, ex-Slint). Look for the record on October 30th.
