Pitchfork: Lucksmiths Return With New LP, U.S. Tour

Lucksmiths Return With New LP, U.S. Tour

"Two years," Lucksmiths singer Tali White told a handful of fans loitering around after their last Boston show. "We'll be back in two years." In addition to their famed affability, it seems like the trio are punctual as well, because this spring brings a fortnight of American Lucksmiths shows, not to mention their first full album in two years.

Warmer Corners comes out April 11 via Matin�e Recordings in the U.S. and Candle Records in Australia. Though White has spent some of the intervening time developing his side project the Guild League, he still contributes the customary lone track to Corners ("Sunlight in a Jar"). The full tracklist:

01 A Hiccup in Your Happiness
02 The Music Next Door
03 Great Lengths
04 Now I'm Even Further Away
05 The Chapter in Your Life Entitled San Francisco
06 Sunlight in a Jar
07 If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home Now
08 Young and Dumb
09 Putting It Off and Putting It Off
10 I Don't Want to Walk Around No More
11 The Fog of Trujilla
12 Fiction

Matin�e's web page says that the album contains a horn section and some pedal steel, which we can believe, and "a little zydeco wigout," on which we will suspend judgment (for the moment). If there's a problem we can always take it up with the band in person at the following locations:
