Built to Spill's bassist Brett Nelson just released his third Electronic Anthology Project last week, July 2nd. Entitled The Electronic Anthology Project of Death Cab For Cutie, Nelson is hoping to capture the essence of Death Cab For Cutie's music by re-imagining their music on a more electronic form. The A-Side is "Soul Meets Body" and its B-Side is "Champagne From A Paper Cup".

The Electronic Anthology Project of Death Cab For Cutie is the follow-up to The Electronic Anthology Project Of Built To Spill and The Electronic Anthology Project of Dinosaur Jr.. While the latter was re-issued for 2012's Record Store Day, the former will be remastered with bonus track for possibly a future release.
