We've just released a second song from TGA, "Black Eyes".  You can download it here.

Also, the Golden Dossier project, a visual companion to The Golden Archipelago which we organized through Kickstarter.com, has only a few days remaining.  You can find out more and order your own copy of this massive and special document here.

Last but not least, dates for our 2010 European and US tours are on the right side of this page.   We'll keep this list updated, as we're likely to add a few more shows as these dates approach.

Over at the Matador site, they've posted pre-order details for The Golden Archipelago - with the added enticement that if you purchase the album directly from Matador now, you get 15% off. (Why wait?) And, if you pre-order the LP version, you'll also get the 50-page booklet that comes with the CD edition. (The booklet is a condensed and substantially abridged version of the Golden Dossier, about which more info very soon.) In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this free mp3 of the song "Castaways".

The Golden Archipelago, our third album for Matador, has a release
date: February 23rd in the US, and a week earlier (the 15th) in the
rest of the world. We'll have more information about the record (and
its companion piece, the 'Golden Dossier') up here soon, but in the
meantime, here's a 'trailer' for the record made by Kevin and our
friend JP Garrigues.
