Land of Talk's Fun and Laughter EP, the follow-up release to their 2008 full-length, Some Are Lakes, is set to come out October 20th on Saddle Creek. It'll be a busy week for the label - they have a handful of other records coming out around the same time.

according the SMMD website, Marco is officially a member, i imagine he will tour consistently with the band when he cools off of his solo effort. the slip + nathan moore + marco benevento is realllyyy something else
