Exclusive: Boy Least Likely To Plan U.S. Release, Tour
Well, release the half-empty helium balloons and break out the crooked party hats, 'cause the boys from Wendover have told Pitchfork that they will deliver their carefully crafted indie-pop debut, The Best Party Ever, to our shores on April 4, on their own label, Too Young to Die. The album will feature the same 12 songs as the UK version, but will also come strapped with a bonus disc of five songs in their first widely available format, boasting such least likely titles as "Every Grubby Little Memory" and "Rock Upon a Porch With You."
Main album tracklist:
01 Be Gentle With Me
02 Fur Soft as Fur
03 Monsters
04 Paper Cuts
05 Warm Panda Cola
06 I See Spiders When I Close My Eyes
07 I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star
08 The Battle of the Boy Least Likely To
09 Sleeping With a Gun Under My Pillow
10 Hugging My Grudge
11 My Tiger My Heart
12 God Takes Care of the Little Things
The Boy Least Likely To will gently nudge U.S. audiences into a frenzy with their first American tour, scheduled to begin at the South by Southwest music festival in March. It will continue into April, and will conclude with a record release party in New York City. Details have yet to be confirmed, but, ya know, it's only a matter of time.
In the meantime, the Boys will f\xEAte their homeland with a one-off Christmas concert, as well as a series of February shows.
When it's time to party, we will party hard:

02-16 Brighton, England - Hanbury Ballroom
02-17 Bristol, England - Louisiana
02-18 Southampton, England - Joiners
