Night of the Brain-- the brand new supergroup featuring Cristian Vogel (aka the non-Jamie Lidell half of Super_Collider) and some pals-- will collect ten of their tracks and call it Wear This World Out. Though peppered with electronic flourishes, the album's got rock on the mind, and is referred to in the press release as a departure from "the banal and stagnant techno scene." In this business, we call that a "burn."

Night of the Brain's World collides with record shelves June 4, via Vogel's own Station 55 imprint. In anticipation of the LP, the label's also issued another Night terror, The Theme EP, in limited edition 10" vinyl format. Theme sports two early mixes of tracks from the album, and, like its heftier cousin, features artwork from Catalan artist Rai Escalé.

Night of the Brain will play Barcelona's Sonar Festival June 14.
