I Can Hear Your Heart, the forthcoming, mostly spoken word album from ex-Arab Strap frontman Aidan John Moffat, is so vulgar you have to testify to your age (18+) in order to access its website.

The collection of poems and stories from the notoriously ribald Scotsman is accompanied by a book, Poop, that must be consumed before delving into Loop, the audio portion of Hear Your Heart. Moffat's none-too-sweet nothings come accompanied by sonic ephemera on the order of collages, crackles and song snippets, and, of course, a healthy sense of shame in any conscientious listener. The disc emerges February 5 on Chemikal Underground. Presumably in a paper bag.

On a slightly more SFW note, Moffat's band Aidan Moffat and the Best-Ofs plan to release their debut album sometime in 2008. That act, you might recall, had a tune on the recent Worried Noodles collection. Thank the deity of your choice they had David Shrigley's lyrics to work with there; one shudders at the thought of Mr. Moffat working with the term "worried noodle."
