London, UK. (Top40 Charts/ SONY BMG MUSIC Entertainment) -
Ben Folds will release Supersunnyspeedgraphic, the lp on October 23rd 2006. The album is a collection of songs culled from his rare internet EPs, B-sides, cover versions and film soundtrack appearances.
In 2003, Ben Folds released an unprecedented series of Internet only EPs exclusively for fans; Super D, Sunny 16 and Speed Graphic, as well as The Bens with Ben Kweller and Ben Lee. For the first time, fans will be able to find selections from those EPs on the aptly titled Supersunnyspeedgraphic, the lp, remastered, reworked and all in one place.
Cover versions included on the album are In Between Days (The Cure), Get Your Hands Off My Woman (The Darkness) and Fold's own version of the Dr. Dre hit Bitches Ain't Shit, which has already sold 75,000 copies digitally.
Folds most recently teamed up with composer Rupert Gregson-Williams and Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack for the DreamWorks Animation film 'Over the Hedge'. One of the resulting songs Still is included on the new album.
Folds has recently been on tour in Australia, including four nights at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He is now back in the US to tour throughout November before heading back to the studio to start work on his next album.
