Mouth Congress (the duo of Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini from Canadian sketch comedy KIds in the Hall) have announced the release of a compilation album, Waiting for Henry. It will be out on December 10 via Captured Tracks. They have also shared a video for a song from the upcoming release, “The People Have Spoken.” Check it out below, along with the album’s tracklist and cover art.

Thompson and Bellini recorded roughly 600 songs between 1984 and 1988 under the pseudonym Mouth Congress (referring to Sir Richard Burton’s term for oral sex in his translation of the Kama Sutra). Their songs, most of which were recorded on a Tascam 4-track recorder, primarily deal with their experiences as young gay men in the ’80s. They performed a good deal of live shows and were set to distribute a seven-track demo tape of their work when Kids in the Hall took off and the project was ultimately abandoned. Waiting for Henry pares down the initial 600 recordings to a mere 29, and is their first official release.
