Long-running Scottish act Cindytalk have transformed numerous times throughout their existence, going from industrial post-punk to electronic noise with an ever-shifting lineup. Now, the group will be compiling their recent recordings on the new double LP The Poetry of Decay, due out November 1 in the UK via Editions Mego.

FACT reports that the set will bring together last year's The Crackle of My Soul and this year's Up Here in the Clouds, marking the first time that either album has been available on vinyl. It will come with a bonus seven-inch containing the songs "Transgender Warrior" and "Guts of London."
