Pitchfork

Like a high schooler convincing his parents he meant to flunk that biology test, Anacortes, Washington trio D+ will release a collection of "hits, rarities, and live cuts" called On Purpose.

Beat Happening's Bret Lunsford leads the band (which is largely inactive now), and he is aptly celebrated in On Purpose's liner notes by his bandmates Phil Elverum (The Microphones/Mount Eerie) and Karl Blau.

The compilation comes out June 10 on hometown label Knw-Yr-Own, and it is limited to an edition of 700 hand-screened and hand-numbered CDs.

Phil Elverum's previously reported new Mount Eerie EP, Black Wooden Ceiling Opening, comes out May 27, and he has a sizable European tour with No Kids and Woelv in support of the record.
