An as-yet-unspecified charity will benefit from the sale of the ‘Songs About Giant Isopod’ album. Giant isopods themselves probably don’t need much help – they’re believed to be widely distributed across ocean floors.

Some of the songs are on the MySpace Page for “The Giant Isopods”, and you can track the album’s progress at Drowned in Sound.
