Team Science To Release Franz Nicolay EP

Team Science has announced that on November 10th, it will release "St. Sebastian Of The Short Stage," a brand new four-song EP from Hold Steady and World/Inferno Friendship Society member, Franz Nicolay.

The album, available in both 10-inch vinyl and digital formats, is now up for pre-order from Team Science, which will press 500 copies of the EP (200 clear, 300 black). Each record includes a free MP3 download for all the songs, a pullout poster insert and an exclusive new short story by Nicolay entitled "Paraska Mikhailivna Is A Witch." Also, for a limited time all pre-orders will receive a free Franz Nicolay corkscrew and button set.

Featuring artwork by Nicholas Gazin, "St. Sebastian Of The Short Stage" comes on the heels of Nicolay's acclaimed solo debut, "Major General." The four brand new tracks include a collaboration with the Dresden Dolls on a cover of Jonathan Richman's "New England," a Watchmen-inspired tribute to a retired superhero, and two songs self-described as "bleeding heart weepies."

The mustachioed keyboardist is currently on tour in Europe with Mark Eitzel.
