Franz Nicolay signs to Xtra Mile plans new album

The always charming (and apparently mustache-free) Franz Nicolay has joined the international wing of Xtra Mile and the formerly UK-only label will be releasing his new album Do the Struggle on July 30, 2012 with vinyl coming on Sabot Productions. For the album, Franz enlisted producer Oktopus of Dälek who you may recall also produced Paint It Black's New Lexicon.

Musicians on the album include the Guignol rhythm section of John Bollinger (drums) and George Rush (bass, tuba) and guests including Ezra Kire (Leftover Crack, Morning Glory) and Emilyn Brodsky.
