Glim Records is pleased to announce the return of Testube in 2010. With an anticipated release date of May 17th, Jeff Danos presents 'Off Purpose' - his first full length release since 'Corporation' in 2003. Continuing where the 2008 "Covert" EP left off, this new release further explores the eclectic fringes of electronic genre mutation that Testube is known for. By fusing glitchy chaotic percussion, dramatic textural displays, anti-pop melody and the occasional old school industrial groove, 'Off Purpose' promises to deliver a little bit of something for everyone, and a lot for the discerning few. Jonathan Chalker, of the dark electro-pop act LowHero.DLL, also contributes vocals and lyrics to what is arguably the catchiest track on the album - "Lost and Found".

'Off Purpose' will first be sold as a limited boutique CDr with special hand-printed arigato jacket and trigger ejector case. Download sales will follow shortly thereafter. In closing, here's a sneak peak at the unintentional, yet somehow refined sounds of Testube's 'Off Purpose':
