Get Him Eat Him Prep LP, Tour With Evangelicals

For the follow-up to last year's Geography Cones, Get Him Eat Him (featuring the vocals and guitar stylings of Pitchfork's very own Matt LeMay), have something very special in store. Matt tells us that Jason Caddell, formerly the guitarist in the Dismemberment Plan, is co-producing the currently untitled album.

"We tracked some guitars with Jason at Inner Ear in DC...and some this week with Charles Bissell from the Wrens," LeMay said in an email.

As if GHEH hadn't already fulfilled their indie rock star quota, Zach Condon of Beirut also "came over last week and played some trumpet," in addition to his bandmates "Kristin and Jon, [who] played some violin and baritone sax (respectively)." Namedropper!

In addition to being nameless at the moment, the album also has no release date, though the band is beginning a huge tour of the U.S. tonight in Ohio. They'll start out by themselves before meeting up with Evangelicals and then ending the tour with four shows with Beirut and Curtains.

Speaking of tours, Get Him Eat Him have just finished a tour EP featuring three new tracks and a Sebadoh cover. Each EP is handmade by the band (but watch out for grease-- we hear they like sandwi...er, sammiches), and they have only made about 125 copies. It will be available while it lasts on the tour, but even if you can't attend one of the shows, you can still get it from www.gethimeathim.com/shop.
