Jim said that he is going to be releasing an album of unreleased songs from his old band, month of sundays, under the name mont de sundua. He said it would be released "soon" so I was expecting to see info about it popping up. So, anyone know anything? Who's releasing it? When does it drop? Tracklist? Is it going to be a hush-hush indie release or will it be an ATO-type release?

"South Africans are unlikely to witness the amazing My Morning Jacket live show anytime soon; although James says he would love to tour here, we may just have to be content with the live film and CD, Okonokos, which the band is releasing later this year. With an album by James's pre-Jackets band, Mont De Sundua, and a My Morning Jacket demo collection, also set for release this year, fans can expect a healthy dose to get them to the next album. As for the band, James reckons there is a swathe of Victorian parties, Alpacas and Bear attacks just around the corner. Grrr!"
This is great news, I was wondering if I'd ever be able to start delving into Jim's pre-MMJ material with an official release - this will be the kickstart for me.
You can still get the vinyl for the Month of Sundays releases through Elephant Micah's LRRC record label:

I highly recommend Elephant Micah to one and all. He/they is/are spectacular.
