If By Yes (Petra Haden & Yuka Honda) recruit David Byrne, Cornelius, Sean Lennon, the Pope, the Space Pope for debut LP

If By Yes, the new project of Petra Haden (That Dog) and Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto), is a band with a ridiculously full Rolodex (just kidding, nobody uses Rolodexes anymore!). Among others, the Petra Haden part of the band has spent time working with The Decemberists, The Rentals, Beck, Sunn O))), and Queens of the Stone Age, while the Yuka Honda part has collaborated with Mike Watt, Beastie Boys, Los Lobos, and Tricky. Seriously, these are two ladies who know people. So it’s not particularly surprising that Salt on Sea Glass, their debut album out March 11 via Chimera, boasts some pretty high-profile guests. David Byrne and Honda’s former Cibo Matto bandmate Sean Lennon are the biggest names dropping in on the record, but other notable folks like Cornelius, Nels Cline, and Thomas Bartlett (a.k.a. Doveman) make an appearance or two. There are also rumors of the Pope, the ghost of Johnny Cash, a real-life panda, Burt Reynolds, Troy Aikman, and Batman villain The Joker showing up on the album, but, hey, you didn’t hear that from me.
