You had to know it was coming. Hot on the heels of news that a Muppets themed album will be hitting record shelves in the coming months comes word that Nickelodeon children’s program Yo Gabba Gabba! will also soon be celebrating a music release. And based on the tracklist, it certainly will be one worth checking out.
On October 20th, the awesomely titled Yo Gabba Gabba! Music Is Awesome! will be released via Filter Recordings. Like the televisions series itself, the album’s tracklist, which consists of 21 selections, will sport positive, kid-friendly contributions from many indie heroes, including Of Montreal, I’m From Barcelona, The Roots, Chromeo, Mark Kozelek, and The Shins. Hell, even Biz Markie will make an appearance.
The album will also be available as a deluxe edition featuring bonus songs. It will be supported by the Yo Gabba Gabba! LIVE: There’s A Party In My City tour, which will hit Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago during the months of November and December.
