The band, which signed to Atlantic last year, took up residency in a New York City recording studio with producer Chris Shaw (Super Furry Animals, Weezer) to rework "Marvin's" with a "new national audience" in mind, according to a press release. The new version of the disc is set to hit stores April 1.
"It was tremendously anti-climatic when it happened," Cantor told CMJ.com last year after the Atlantic signing. "We had to do it all over again.
"We'd go crazy if we couldn't be creative," he added, hinting that the band was plotting a new project to coincide with the old record's re-release. "'Marvin's' is so old for us too so there will be something new."
The band's most recent release was 2005's "The Pingry EP," a limited-edition nine-track CD featuring early demos of material that eventually appeared on "Marvin's," along with a pair of live tracks recorded at The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, MI, and an additional cut recorded live on the Mitch Album Show on Detroit radio station WJR.
