From the desolate dunes of the Red Planet (or the pristine pages of some Isaac Asimov novel) comes the mysterious "Spacer Woman From Mars"! And if this otherworldly lady sounds suspiciously like Pitchfork's fave Italo disco chanteuse Sally Shapiro intoning over another sparkling Johan Agebjörn production, well, my friend, that's absolutely correct. Well done; you have clearly been reading your Forkcast.

Previously available solely on Lo Recordings' Milky Disco compilation (and on this here website), "Spacer Woman" will receive a proper 12" release in February via Lo offshoot Loeb (no relation to Lisa). The track, billed to Johan Agebjörn featuring Sally Shapiro, comes bundled with a pair of remixes and an Agebjörn solo rendition of the Mega Man II video game theme song. Sweet! I sure hope he takes on something from Final Fantasy III next.

Sally Shapiro's Disco Romance, Pitchfork's #32 album of 2007, is available now.
