Whether The Future Is Inter-Disciplinary or Not at All, it has good things in store for Frog Eyes' Spanish fans. On July 7, Carey Mercer and co. will release a 17-minute EP by the name not-so-arbitrarily italicized above. Acuarela Discos will house the effort, which was recorded and produced in early 2005 at Sun C Studios.

The Future Is Inter-Disciplinary or Not at All tracklist:

01 Future Fortress
02 Really: The End of Time?
03 Sheldon's Phone Calling the Future That Is All Alive
04 A Feeling: I Feel It
05 I Am Telling You That Cities Were Never Ever Conceived Like This
06 "Politics"
07 "Of Friendship"
08 A Future Begs a Hero

Frog Eyes' upcoming full length, Tears of the Valedictorian is slated for an early 2007 release on Absolutely Kosher. Prior to its due date, the band will tour North America with Wolf Parade, as previously reported. So basically another incestuous stint, thanks to Frog Eyes/Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown busybody Spencer Krug. Krug, as previously reported, will drop an album on Jagjaguwar this fall with Frog Eyes bandmate Mercer and Destroyer's Dan Bejar under the name Swan Lake. Mercer is also working as Prancing Cat with wife/Frog Eye Melanie Campbell.
