NOVELS (Photo Credit: Lesley Marino)

One teeth-achingly cold and brutally bracing day back in January, five Toronto musicians gathered round Chemical Sound for twenty-four hours of writing and recording. This collaborative project is comprised of Luke Lalonde (Born Ruffians), Graham Wright (Tokyo Police Club), Will Currie (…& the Country French), and Chemical Sound engineers, Dean Marino and Jason Sadlowski. The full-day marathon begot “NOVELS”. Details on its release are yet to be revealed, but one thing is for sure – it will be FREE.

There will be about 200 copies available. Graham Wright recently posted on his blog, “Each one was hand screened and put together by us, so they’re all a little different, and they’re all a lot awesome looking.  Soon we’ll start figuring out ways to distribute them, and then we’ll let you all know.  And we’ll probably put the songs on the internet somewhere, too.  Exciting!”

So, keep your eyes peeled!

In addition to the 5-track EP, a documentary of the night is being showcased at Pop Montreal. But for those of us not fortunate enough to attend the fest, don’t fret! You can also watch it over at vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/6488918. Thanks, internet!
