Yyyeah. Anyway! American Laundromat Records announced that it will be releasing Gigantic - A Tribute to Kim Deal right about... uh, now, actually! That is, if you buy it directly from the label or on iTunes. For the brick-and-mortar set, the tribute album will drop June 3. You won't recognize too many of the artists appearing on this compilation, and that was done on purpose.
“This project was a pure labor of love for the label," says founder and president Joe Spadaro. "We wanted to get back to working with lesser-known indie arists. We started to produce Gigantic in the middle of producing the Pixies and Neil Young tributes. It was fun to work directly with the bands and hear their reinterpretations of Kim’s impressive body of work."
Tanya Donnelly of the Breeders/Belly/Throwing Muses penned the liner notes for Gigantic, so this is sure to be a Deal-approved tribute to her own art. Wise, I say. If there's anything we learned last month, it's that Kim Deal doesn't like it when people talk shit. Or allegedly talk shit. Either way...
