New Girl Talk Album Released Online, Name Your Price

After working for over two years on his new album Feed The Animals, Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) has decided to make it available for fans to download months before its initial release, on a "pay what you want plan". Download it at Illegal Art. Any price gets you the tracks, over $5 gets you one continuous track, and $10 or more gets you the mp3's plus a hard copy of the album when it releases on September 23rd. Here's a bit more about the album's production, from JamBase:

The new album, which took two years to make, sees Gillis collecting material that was developed as part of his ever-changing live show. Using 300 samples in over 50 minutes, Gillis has created his most heavy-hitting, party-centric album yet. Throughout eight years of dedicating himself to creating sample-based music, Gillis has focused on the art of sampling and developing new tracks that have their own character, and surpass the original elements. He has refined his skill and technique and challenged himself with each new release, and in turn Gillis has solidified a specific musical identity and successfully created a particular style of music on record and in a live setting that excites listeners and makes them hungry for more.
