Matador Records has announced that they will act as U.S. license for Glaswegian artists Aereogramme. The trio, which includes ex-Ganger guitarist/vocalist Craig B (how bad could his last name be?), is set to release its debut LP, A Story in White, via the Delgados-founded Chemikal Underground Records in September. The stateside Matador release hits your favorite record store October 9th. That is, unless your preferred musical emporium is Target, Wherehouse, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, or the checkout aisle at Rite-Aid.

Aereogramme formed in 1998, after Craig B's discontent with Ganger as a personal creative outlet. In an effort to bring something, regardless of freshness, to the table, the young trio flesh out their loud-soft-loud transitions with "discipline and finesse." After 7" releases and shows in support of acts such as Low, the group released a debut EP, The Glam Cripple, early this year. An EP companion to their imminent LP, entitled White Paw, will be released in the UK on August 20th. Three White Paw tracks will be featured on the Matador full-length. Aereogramme are slated to support the Dirty Three and Frank Black during their respective Scottish ventures. And, in light of the "whiteness" of their two upcoming releases, the trio will perform all shows on horseback wearing ivory robes. At least, that's what the First Cavalier of Olde Ivory Robe Wearing Horsebackers tell us.
