Luckily for the listening and showgoing public, Pretty Girls have been holed up writing a bit of new material, so a smattering of new songs can be expected during the March-long tour. "We have been working on new songs, and have about eight so far," an announcement at the band's official website states. "It looks like we will be recording our new record with Phil Ek in April. It will be coming out on Matador Records in September." Ek was behind the helm for the Pitchfork fave Good Health in 2002, as well as virtually every other big-name indie record not produced by Bob Weston, Steve Albini or J. Robbins.
