I know there's been a lot of Darlins talk lately, what with The Black Lips playing their release on June 27 and them looking sexy at Bonnaroo and all. But their people (they have people) gave us the green light to post the first track/lead-off single from their eponymous debut full-length, so we're gonna go ahead and do that. It also happens to be what I think is the best song on the album. Listen up:
Those Darlins, the album, is now available on iTunes and vinyl, and you can get it in compact disc format on July 7. Maybe the girls will play the release in their bikinis? Eh? Probably not. It was worth a shot. Full list of the Darlins' summer tour dates after the jump. Also, there's some ridiculous Photoshop that--believe it or not--I actually had nothing to do with.

The vinyl includes a CD copy of the album so technically it's out on CD now too. in the future all releases should go this way. when was the last time you felt like you got real value from the "music industry"?

Ha-ha, Lin looked down and realized he forgot his shirt. You know he's saying "well, damn" to himself, but is not fazed in the least. What a guy!
I said a few months ago that I can't wait for this record to come out. Technically, I'm still waiting for direct-deposit day, but I'm still excited. Multiple formats, free fishin' specs, and a huge blowout show at Mercy. Hot damn!
PS - I seriously thought "Funstix Party" was a hip-hop cover, and the hook was "fuck this party." :)
