Daniel, Fred & Julie on December 1

Daniel, Fred & Julie - a collaboration between Attack in Black's Daniel Romano, Julie Doiron and Fred "Calm Down It's Monday" Squire (ex - Shotgun and Jaybird) is due out on on December 1 - in plenty of time for your holiday shopping needs.

According to the story:

"Dan took the train to Sackville, NB in the summer of 2009, with a couple of acoustic guitars and a couple of folk songbooks. A tape machine was set up in Fred’s garage. A microphone was placed on the floor in front of a semi-circle of folding chairs. The weather was good that week, the garage door was open, cars would pass, as would kids on bicycles. Arrangements were made up quickly, harmonies worked out, lyrics written on long scraps of paper, verses picked and chosen. Dan and Fred playing guitars, all three singing together. The songs were put down quickly, with no overdubs or edits, and the record was finished in a couple of days."

Look for it in dazzling Mono on CD and LP in a few weeks.
