Oh Man (Man) this is going to be good

Since 2006, Honus Honus of Man Man has had the idea of working with Islands' Nick Thorburn.

Here we are, 4 years later, and the two have been meeting and writing and working to form what will surely be an epic collab suitably dubbed as "doom wop." They call themselves Mister Heavenly.

See, kids? Dreams do come true! Not for only musicians, but for the rest of us craving something musically new. And I don't know about you, but this new genre or what have you sounds perfect.

To top it off, the guys will be may releasing their tunes for free. According to Honus, they are..

...trying to have fun with it at this point. We don’t want it to get too serious or too involved and anyone to have too high of expectations, because naturally that’s when it gets destroyed. So far so good, it’s been fun. We’re even thinking about maybe doing an album. But just because we only put together four songs and it happened very quickly.

To get the low-down and all the details on the side project, you can catch the rest of the interview with Honus over at YANP.com.

Considering these song-writers, I think we'll be in for something rad. I'm excited to see the outcome of this. Until then, wrapping my head around combining the two sounds is going to drive me crazy...in a good way, mind you.
