Does anyone know why they're disbanding? Have they made a statement, or are they just burned out, which is understandable?

There's an interview with Dean Wareham over in the Pitchdork news section which kind of explains things. Be interested to see what's next.

At least i was able to see them live before they split, something i can't say about Galaxie 500.
I guess Dean will continue his project with Britta.
