The members of Espers, Fern Knight, Fursaxa, and the other Philly folkies who join them in the Valerie Project will release their self-titled debut via Drag City on November 20.

The Valerie Project translates to double LP and single CD the group's previously reported live soundtrack to 1970 Czech film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. The film is only the first the group plans to tackle, and they will continue to accompany it live this fall at a handful of performances. Those begin October 28 in New York City.
