Ok, eight songs total. Billy Gibbons, Les Claypool, Stella Mozgawa, Jake Shears, and I'm guessing a few more. I think I read somewhere that Matt Berry (from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Mighty Boosh, etc.) contributed. Also, as mentioned above Carla Azar and Matt Sweeney.

three weeks pass...

Out today, and for the most part, it's really amazing! The Finnish-ish novelty track Chic Tweetz is probably twice as long as it needs to be and I may never need to hear it again. And on the last song, Josh is doing his 'David Bowie' thing but on first listen it comes off more like a 'Roger Waters' thing to me, and in not such a good way. I love Billy Gibbons on the opening track, and the Scissor Sisters guy in general. And newcomer Libby Grace on If You Run sounds great. It does a whole lot in less than half an hour.

No individual tracks are standing out for me yet, but it's definitely a weird and cool record. I hope they do another soon.
