My apologies: this post is going to be nowhere near as dirty as that headline made it sound. But it's still pretty exciting. Brooklyn noise rockers Parts & Labor won a legion of new fans with their jagged, post-punk guitars and heavy-hitting drums on last year's Mapmaker (Jagjagjaguwar/Brah). For a while there, it seemed like they were playing two New York shows a week.

Now, the quartet is back in the studio, and they need your help! They've issued an appeal to their fans, via their MySpace blog, to donate audio samples for their new album.

Here's what they need (under the cut):

"Send audio that responds to any or all of these questions:

1. What's your favorite or least favorite sound?
2. What are you afraid of?
3. What do your parents sound like?
4. Where are you going, or where have you been?

The deadline for submissions is May 23rd. Please keep the samples under 10 seconds.

wav or aiff formats are preferred (but mp3s are okay too).

Email your submissions to partsandlaborsounds@gmail.com. Include your name for creditting [sic] purposes if you want."

I can't wait to see what this experiment yields. No release date for the new full-length has yet been mentioned, but perhaps Europe will get a taste of the new material when Parts & Labor graces its shores this July. And hopefully they'll be back in town in time to play some summer shows in Brooklyn.
