Earlier this year, Wilco composer/guitarist Nels Cline and Cibo Matto member Yuka C. Honda released their debut single as CUP. Now, following an appearance at Wilco’s own Solid Sound Festival, the pair is ready to release their first collaborative album, Spinning Creature.

Due out November 1st via Northern Spy Records, the effort was recorded in just three days in Brooklyn. There are seven tracks altogether, including songs with titles like “Every Moment”, “Tokyo Night Janitor”, and “As Close as That”. The two singles the band dropped over the summer, “Soon Will Be Flood” and the title track, also appear.



Cline and Honda, who also happen to be married, will celebrate the new album with a release-day show at NuBlu 151 in New York City. Pre-orders for the record have begun, and tickets for the concert are available on the venue’s website
