Apples Meet Seamonster

(Art by Todd Webb)

Tonight's good news is that Todd Webb aka Seamonster is collaborating with Robert Schneider of Apples in Stereo on a childrens album to be released early next year. Schneider wrote the songs and Webb contributed to a comic book that will be included in the disc. Pitchfork ran a story about the disc this afternoon.

Webb/Seamonster is a Virginia Beach guy, by the way.

The following is what Seamonster posted about the project on a MySpace bulletin:
