Pearly Gate Music just don’t stop. After playing at just about every day party possible at this year’s SXSW festival (including Brooklyn Vegan, Rachel Ray/Daytrotter, and Toby Rascal and HBears day parties) the band returned to home just in time to jump on a couple Northwest dates with Xiu Xiu and tUnE yArDs.
Today, the band is excited to announce they’ll be joining the Daytrotter Barnstormers tour this spring (with Ra Ra Riot, Delta Spirit, Nathaniel Rateliff and Free Energy) before hitting the Midwest and east coast with Frog Eyes and Beach Fossils this June.
In anticipation of these upcoming dates, we’re happy to give you a sneak peak of the tremendous, confident and delicate debut full length, Pearly Gate Music (May 18th / Barsuk Records) with a link to one of the album standouts “Big Escape”. (For those of you that love the wax, a limited-edition “Big Escape” 7” single (with album outtake “Sleeping with Bears” on the b-side) is in-stores already):
