Cold-blooded Toronto garage eccentrics the Deadly Snakes will release Porcella, their fourth full-length, in two versions on September 27. The first fruit of their new union with fellow Canuckleheads Paper Bag Records (former home of Stars and Broken Social Scene) will come in differing CD and vinyl versions, both taking a step away from rock hysterics into the "mellow and weird," as singing keyboardizer Age of Danger (yes, that's his "name") told Spill magazine: "There's a lot of strange sounds on there. We basically locked ourselves up in this cabin with a bunch of weird instruments and did the album."

Consumers of digital media on plastic 5" discs will hear this version of the album:
01 Debt Collection
02 200 Nautical Miles
03 Sissy Blues
04 High Prices Going Down
05 Gore Veil
06 So Young & So Cruel
07 Let It All Go
08 Work
09 Oh Lord, My Heart!
10 I Heard Your Voice
11 By Morning, It's Gone
12 The Banquet
13 A Bird In The Hand Is Worthless

Meanwhile, those who prefer 12" vinyl discs will get two, for this four-sided werke:
Side A:
01 Debt Collection
02 Sissy Blues
03 High Prices Going Down
04 Oh Lord, My Heart!
05 Ambulance Man

Side B:
06 She's Going Home With Him
07 Break Up Conservation
08 Bound To Get Lonely
09 Veronica Brown
10 By Morning, It's Gone

Side C:
11 I Heard Your Voice
12 Don River Jail
13 Let It All Go
14 A Bird In The Hand Is Worthless
15 No Sympathy

Side D:
16 Gore Veil
17 So Young & So Cruel
18 Work
19 200 Nautical Miles
20 The Banquet
