Bloc Party, Les Savy Fav, PB&J on Wichita B-Day Comp

UK-based Wichita Recordings are giving themselves a big ol' pat on the back. They've just issued their 150th album, and to celebrate, they're passing out a party favor far more favorable than those crappy paper horns.

It's There's Only One T in Wichita (... wait, they're right!), a collection of 14 tracks from various label artists, out September 24 in the UK. The Wichita folks love math, it seems: seven of the tracks are from U.S. artists, and seven are European. All told, seven of the tracks are exclusive to the disc (or so the label claims-- a quick Google search indicates otherwise), and all 14 are lined up in conjunction with the label's seventh birthday. That "7 and 7 Is" cover just missed the deadline, huh?

Included are faves like Simian Mobile Disco, Bloc Party, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Los Campesinos!, Peter Bjorn and John (remixed by Girl Talk), new signings Les Savy Fav, and many others.

Far more than the order and logic of math, however, the folks at Wichita like chaos. Rather than simply posting the tracklist for the compilation, the label urges you to put the Only One T tracks on shuffle or come up with your own preferred order for 'em. So they're in alphabetical order after the jump.

Any which way but up:

Bloc Party: "Hunting For Witches (Dave P & Adam Sparkles remix)"
Blood Brothers: "Spit Shine Your Black Clouds"
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: "Sword Song"
Espers: "Moon Occults the Sun"
Euros Childs: "Outside My Window"
Les Savy Fav: "Raging in the Plague Age"
Los Campesinos!: "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives"
Meg Baird: "Riverhouse in Tinicum"
Peter Bjorn and John: "Let's Call It Off (Girl Talk Remix)"
Simian Mobile Disco: "State of Things"
The Bronx: "Mouth Money"
The Cribs: "Girls Like Mystery"
Those Dancing Days: "1000 Words"
XOXO Panda: "The New Kid Revival"
