New Cab Assassin (Lou in Disguise)

So we dropped the ball a couple of months back. Lou Albino have been hard at work on a new album or two and in the meantime they leaked some demos via myspace. Anyway, here is the lowdown. "Operation Argus" is a Lou Albino release under the name of Cab Assassin. It is an 8 song CD of instrumentals that are in essence demos of some songs that may be on one of the upcoming proper Lou Albino albums.

Like Knives, Post-Rock Balboa (extended), Argus Atlantis, Fish Call, Quiet as a Mouse, Anticlimactic, Stumbling in the Dark, Means to an Ending.
