Cass McCombs Signs UK Deal with 4AD, Preps Second LP


Former Baltimore resident and current badass singer/songwriter Cass McCombs is gearing up for a monster 2005. Having just signed a UK distribution deal with 4AD, the Monitor Records songsmith is now prepping his full-length follow-up to his 2003 debut, A. Entitled PREfection, the album is due February 1st, and will include 10 tracks with titles that indicate he's recently drawn a not-insignificant amount of inspiration from his new fog-bound London digs. Tracklist:

01 Equinox
02 Subtraction
03 Multiple Suns
04 Tourist Woman
05 Sacred Heart
06 She's Still Suffering
07 Cuckoo
08 Bury Mary
09 City of Brotherly Love
10 All Your Dreams May Come True

Incidentally, McCombs is also capping off his 2004 today with the release of his first 4AD single. Titled "Sacred Heart"-- and featuring the exclusive B-side "Twins"-- the track is culled from his upcoming full-length. He's also got some European shows lined up, if you're into that sort of thing. Pervert.
