Fans of Papa M's album Live At the Shark's Cage, which remains one of the best post-rock instrumental albums, you'll be happy to know that a lot of David Pajo's early EPs will be released in one compilation. Though I admire Pajo's more recent work, I find it to be a little to comparable to Will Oldham, whose work under the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy name is, to me, far superior to Pajo's attampts at lo-fi alt country.
Pitchfork also reports that Sufjan Stevens will be releasing an album of songs that didn't make last year's gorgeous Greetings From Michigan, The Great Lake State, called Seven Swans. It's an interesting idea, but considering Stevens plans of releasing one album per state, the guy should be weary of flooding the market with bonus material.
