Two months ago, members from Stars Like Fleas traveled to Iceland to finish mixing their new album, The Ken Burns Effect, at Greenhouse Studios (Bjork, Will Oldham, Sigur Ros). They are very proud of the results.

And while the album has yet to be mastered, they wanted to throw a 2-day listening party, where you can hear a pre-mastered mix of the entire album. It will be accompanied by video shot in Iceland utilizing the adulterated spirit, determination, and gall of the Ken Burns Effect.

But that's not all! Included in your admission will be a screening of one of their Concert A Emporter (Take Away Concerts) shot by French filmmaker Mathieu Saura. Past "Emporter" performers have included Grizzly Bear, Xiu Xiu, Mojave 3, Elysian Fields, Doveman, and Stuart Staples (Tindersticks).

Still not enough. Also included in your admission will be a live short set by the Stars Like Fleas themselves, in various subcutaneous duets, trios, quartets and quintets. A different line-up for every seating.
