As far as new album supplements go, screw a mere bonus disc. How about a computer game, a bunch of in-stores, new European dates, and new stuff from side projects? Well, with the release of Autumn of the Seraphs fast approaching (reminder: September 11 via Touch & Go), Pinback have decided to give us all of those things.

First, the game: It's called November Fireflight, and it's a somewhat difficult to navigate undersea adventure involving the zapping of fish. Or, as the game's introduction states, "A young firefly has lost its way and Zach & Rob have to fend off the creatures of the night in order to bring it back home safely. The Autumn of the Seraphs patiently waits for its return."

Which, of course, explains everything.

Next up are those in-store performances, four of them, and they're all scheduled for the week of the record's release in the band's native California. Those shows/signings now mark the beginning of Pinback's tour, and the end now includes a couple weeks' worth of European shows in November.

Also scheduled for a September 11 release (but on Temporary Residence) is "Up", the second single from Rob Crow's Living Well, which comes complete with three previously unreleased bonus tracks as well the song's video as B-sides.

And finally, on October 9, Temporary Residence will also release the self-titled debut album from Prints, a collaboration between Pinback associate and multi-instrumentalist Kenseth Thibideau and Who's Your Favorite Son God's Zac Nelson.
