New Jenn Grant Album and Llamas?

According to CBC Radio 3 a new album is on it's way (announced via text message) from Jenn Grant.

"In a serious of excited yet cryptic text messages, Jenn eagerly informs us that her new album is entitled Echoes, and will be released by Six Shooter Records on January 27, 2009. Echoes was recorded at a farm house near Schomberg, Ontario, apparently owned by someone named "Puck"."
