Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Cole Alexander of the Black Lips have formed a new band dubbed Ghetto Cross. Cox described the group and their recording plans:

Present Tense: Cole Alexander (Black Lips) and I have a new thing called Ghetto Cross. The name is old. We first talked about having a band called that when we first met and started hanging out. Then he used it for a Black Lips song title. Now we take it back to the streets. He came over saturday night and we knocked out a song for a 7" we are going to do for Chunklet Magazine guy Henry Owing's new label. Is it the label still called Drug Racer, Henry? We hope to have it done in time for the Atlas Sound tour, and upcoming Black Lips dates.

The duo recently posted a song online titled "Dog Years," which you can download via Deerhunter's blog.
