Death Cab for Son Volt

This pairing sounds interesting – Jay Farrar (Son Volt) and Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) have teamed up on album of songs dedicated to author Jack Kerouac. The album, One Fast Move or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur, will also serve as the soundtrack to a documentary by the same name.  The two singers share vocals on the 12 tracks and are backed by Brad Sarno (pedal steel), Aaron Espinoza (bass) and Mark Spencer (multiple instruments).

The album will be available in multiple combos/formats (CD, CD+DVD, CD+DVD+book) on October 20.

Here’s Jay Farrar performing “San Francisco” from the album.
