Hewing to the time-honored tradition of dispensing information in miniscule doses, John Vanderslice has just announced via his website that his next album is now complete. This is handy, since he's not going to have much free time these next few months. Let's see; there's the tour with Beulah into November, leaving barely enough time for Christmas shopping, then trying to lose those pesky holiday pounds before heading out on another tour-- but I digress. The new album is called Cellar Door, and is currently due on Barsuk Records come January 20th, 2004. A tour in support of the album is already in the works, as previously reported here. To quote Vanderslice himself: "We'll follow that up with a monsterfuck tour starting February 24th in L.A. We'll tour up to Noise Pop, through the wondrous [Northwest], over to SXSW and clear out to the East Coast, and in between we'll be taking our sweet time with the Midwest." Oooh, South Dakota, you're in for some lovin'. The tracklist:
