A couple of years ago, underground artist David Shrigley released a book of drawings and lyrics entitled Worried Noodles. The book soon became a hit in smart circles, finding its way into the hands of plenty of hip musicians who were fascinated by Shrigley's work. Now those musicians have come together to record Shrigley's songs. October 23 is the scheduled release date for a deluxe Worried Noodles reissue from Tomlab containing two CDs of bands interpreting Shrigley's tunes, as well as the original book in hardcover. An amazing melange of musicians, including David Byrne, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Trans Am, ex-Arab Strapper Aidan Moffet, Deerhoof, Islands, Liars, Dirty Projectors, Final Fantasy, and Mt. Eerie, are among the work's contributors.
