I'm From Barcelona Prepare Staggering <i>27 Songs From Barcelona</i>

BY Josiah HughesPublished Jan 8, 2010

Following the release of their 2008 sophomore record Who Killed Harry Houdini?, massive Swedish twee-pop collective I'm From Barcelona have announced an ambitious project for their next album. Citing Kiss's 1978 quadruple solo album project as an influence, the band are letting each of their 27 members write a song for the upcoming release.

The resulting 27 tracks are compiled on 27 Songs From Barcelona, the band's third album. As the hefty tracklisting below demonstrates, each track is credited to the band member who wrote it. They're still all performed by I'm From Barcelona, however.

The album will be released on a limited-edition triple LP on January 27. The band will then release the album for free on their website, posting one track a day for 27 days.

An audio preview of the album is embedded in the YouTube video below.
