While looking for news of Savath y Savalas, I noticed that pitchfork has a LOT of info about a Prefuse 73 revival. Looks like Prefuse 73 (aka Guillermo Scott Herren) is releasing a new album with a twist. The CD/Vinyl will be a double album, while the digital download will only include disc 1. The first disc is beat-based while the second disc is "a collection of modern classical compositions composed and played by Herren using mostly cello, flute, piano, bass, and clarinet." The album is titled Preparations and disc 2 is titled Ensembles:Preparations:01 From the East Intro02 Beaten Thursday03 Aborted Hugs04 The Class of 73 Bells [ft. School of Seven Bells]05 Girlfriend Boyfriend06 Smoking Red [ft. John Stanier - drummer for Battles]07 Prog Version Slowly Crushed08 Noreaster Cheer09 Let It Ring10 17 Seconds Interlude [ft.

The single features the School of Seven Bells, which according to p4k is:

the new band of ex-Secret Machine Benjamin Curtis, and ex-On!Air!Library twin sisters Claudia and Alejandra Deheza. (Claudia has also worked with Herren under his Savath & Savalas guise and as A Cloud Mireya.)
