Smalltown Supersound-- the little avant label that has brought us fine releases from the likes of Lindstrøm, Boredoms' Yamataka Eye, 120 Days, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Tussle, Bjørn Torske, Kim Hiorthøy, and the Whitest Boy Alive-- will release its next state-of-the-label compilation in the UK on September 17.

That comp, called The Portable Supersound (as a tribute to Galaxie 500's The Portable Galaxie 500 compilation), features contributions from all of the above mentioned artists except for the Whitest Boy Alive.

Eye appears here under his moniker the Lift Boys, and the Sunburned track is the result of the band's studio collaboration with Four Tet on the Fire Escape LP that arrives October 2.

Also included on The Portable Supersound is new signing Arp (aka Alexis Georgopoulos, formerly of Tussle), who will release In Light on November 6, and diskJokke, who is preparing his debut, Staying In, for release early next year.
