Former Flat Duo Jets frontman Dexter Romweber has signed a multi-album deal with Chicago's Bloodshot Records. His first album for the label hasn't even been recorded yet, but Romweber has already recruited some heavy hitting duet partners: Cat Power, Neko Case, and X frontwoman Exene Cervenka.

Romweber will record the album next month for a Bloodshot release in 2009.

The wait for Romweber tour dates is much shorter, as the Dexter Romweber Duo (featuring Romweber's sister Sara on drums) have shows scheduled today (July 16) through the end of July.
