The first two mp3s from the yet-to-come Super Famicom epic “The Wandering Floret” have been posted on the sf myspace, and they sound wonderful. For those who aren’t in the know, The Wandering Floret is eight albums, all of which are going to be simultaneously released on eight record labels, on 08/08/08. I’ve never heard of anyone else doing this, and I honestly can’t figure out why no one’s talking about this, because it’s completely unprecedented. This dwarfs 69 Love Songs and just about any other indie rock concept I can think of, if only for the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. The record labels involved have not yet been announced, but I’m sure they’ll include some of the labels PJ has released on already such as Sanitary Records, Tract Records, Red Chair Records, and Pj’s own PJ Records. This is a big deal.”Sometimes” starts out with the killer line “sometimes you let someone ruin your life to see how far they’ll go,” and keeps loose time with the sounds of rustling brushes and moving water. “Nice Really Nice” reeks of delicious Super Famicom reverb, and keeps the lonely lyrics coming. From the looks of it, The Wandering Floret’s gonna be the best thing PJ’s ever done, and I’m way excited.
