Vancouver duo Japandroids released their rather fine Post Nothing album back in 2009. They will return with their new album Celebration Rock on June 4, from which comes this rather fine single, released on May 14, ‘The House That Heaven Built.’ And if you’re interested (I am, especially seeing as it’s not available yet!) the b-side is a cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ ‘Jack the Ripper’ (which was on 1992’s Henry’s Dream, and a double A-side with ‘Straight To You’ if you want to be really pedantic).
The tracklisting for Celebration Rock is as follows:
1 The Nights Of Wine And Roses
2 Fire’s Highway
3 Evil’s Sway
4 For The Love Of Ivy
5 Adrenaline Nightshift
6 Younger Us
7 The House That Heaven Built
8 Continuous Thunder
Not only that but they will also be touring, and playing a handful of dates in the British Isles, just before the album comes out:
17 May Cardiff Club Ifor Bach
18 May Brighton Green Door Store
21 May Bristol Cooler
22 May London CAMP Basement
23 May Manchester Soup Kitchen
24 May Glasgow King Tuts
25 May Leeds Cockpit 2
26 May Nottingham Bodega
