Cex Enlists Members of Death Cab for Cutie, Dismemberment Plan, Mogwai for New Full-Length But will not be asked to return the favor

John Herman reports:
Everyone's favorite hip-hoppin' IDM rascal, Cex, is reportedly at work on a(nother) new album. Entitled Invisible Sidis, the new platter is said to feature more cameos than a Muppet movie-- presently slated to appear are members of Mogwai, Milemarker, Aloha, Joan of Arc, Muy Romantico, The Blow, Kid606, Nice-Nice, and Anticon-- as well as Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, The Dismemberment Plan's erstwhile frontman Travis Morrison, and Jenny Lewis (of Jenny Lewis fame).

holy hell, why?

Wouldn't it be cool if they were all in the studio together at one time?
And I had a tactical nuclear weapon?

if the Roots actually consisted of Stephen Root and Rusted Root, they would make a better hip-hop album than anything that could come from this unholy session.

Do not mention the Roots! They should be locked in that room with the nuke as well, with ?uestlove's testicles strapped to the warhead.

for what it's worth, I don't think it's supposed to be a 'hip-hop album'. I saw him last week and his set was on some spooky worldbeat early Peter Gabriel type shit.

Based on contributors, I would say that this is most likely not a hip-hop album, as Anticon are the only people that have a vague relationship to hip-hop, and we all know that they are really nu-emo dudes just like everyone else listed there.

I will probably buy this and I will probably enjoy it.

me too. unless it's like Maryland Mansions, which is his only album that I never bought or wanted to listen to.

apparently most of it was recorded with the members of Nice Nice, who I saw open for him last year and are pretty fucking amazing musicians who don't seem to have enough ideas to pull off their own music, so I'm hoping they can make his ideas sound better.

i see stephen root in my store all the time and hes not as silly as it would seem. he got kinda mad at me for calling him "mr james"

My local shite Alt-Rock station used the phrase "post-punk laptop rap" on the radio today?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!
