The Menche/Mamiffer album has been in the works for multiple years now and is finally done. Very happy this idea is now realized and we can share it. The Oakeater album has also been the works for quite a while as well - both will be available for pre-order next week in the SIGE webshop. Additionally, Menche has made videos for both the collaborative album and the Oakeater - which we'll be able to share shortly.
