What is the deal with Lansing-Dreiden?

From their Web site:

Lansing-Dreiden is a multi-media company founded in Miami, FL and is currently based in New York. Its output includes artwork in the form of drawings, collages, sculpture and video, as well as the production of music recordings and Death Notice, a free newspaper containing fictional stories and images. All Lansing-Dreiden projects are fragmentary, mere stones in a path whose end lies in a space where the very definition of "path" paths.

Are these guys even a band? I've been listening to their second full length album The Dividing Island (May 9 release), think late 60s / early 70s pop full of guitars, keyboards, and psychedelia. The first song, Dividing Island, is fantastic but the remaining 9 songs have yet to really grab my attention. L-D Section II is "a five-piece live incarnation of Lansing-Dreiden's recorded output." So, is this the same band that recorded the album? I'm lost on this one.
