October Surprises
In early October we’re going to be playing a pair of festivals – first, Matador’s 21st anniversary bash in Las Vegas, with a few bands you’ve heard of. Vegas seems like an illogical place to do almost anything, but when you figure that flights are relatively cheap from most cities in the US (to lure […]
Willie and Waylon and Me
Before we head out to Europe again, we’re going to be playing a special benefit show on July 16th for our beloved Austin NPR station, KUT, in the Austin City Limits studio. Tickets are available here. We’ll be joined by some friends and longtime collaborators for this performance, and we’re going to play at least […]
Lhude sing cuccu
We’re easing into the Texas summer after an exhilarating first round of touring in the US and EU. Not that we’re putting ourselves out to pasture – there’s plenty coming up, both Golden Archipelago-related and otherwise.

Download The Golden Dossier
The physical copies of the Golden Dossier are gone; that’s the bad news. But the good news is that we’re posting an electronic archive of much of it here; you can download a PDF and print a copy for yourself if you like.

Over at the Matador site, they’ve posted pre-order details for The Golden Archipelago.
The Golden Archipelago
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.
Gearing Up
Back from Europe, and we’ve been putting the finishing touches on the album and artwork. We’re also plotting our first major US tour in a while, which will probably start in late March – and more Europe dates as well.
