of Montreal - thecontrollersphere

of Montreal have sneak attack released their latest work, an EP called thecontrollersphere.

Here's the official word on the EP:

"A mini-album of sorts, thecontrollersphere is a folk album only in the way of Montreal could envision a folk album.

Clocking in at 23 minutes, thecontrollersphere includes the long-awaited studio version of live favorite "Black Lion Massacre" -- a pulsing sonic freakout that is the darkest and noisiest song Barnes has ever written and serves as thecontrollersphere's mission statement."

A mini-album of sorts, eh? Well I actually love the EP as a format of music, so I'm not complaining. Sometimes you don't have a full 40 minutes to an hour to listen to a full album, and then an EP can be perfect.

You can purchase thecontrollersphere from Polyvinyl Records here.

Physical release date is April 26, but you can download the 320kbps MP3s right now. Available in black or limited edition blue vinyl.

Finally, here's the tracklisting:

1) Black Lion Massacre
2) Flunkt Sass vs the Root Plume
3) Holiday Call
4) L'age D'or
5) Slave Translator
