Danish eight-piece Under Byen are ready to take on our continent. Their album Samme Stof Som Stof ("Same Fabric as Fabric") will be released September 26 in Canada and October 10 in the U.S., courtesy of Paper Bag Records. It's Paper Bag's first release from a non-Canadian band, so it must be special, right?

Recorded in an 18th century house in Brussels and a Swedish forest, the new material was produced by fellow Dane Carsten Heller and New Yorker Kevin Salem (Yo La Tengo, Giant Sand), with assistance from British electronic artist Leafcutter John.

The octet will play a handful of North American shows this October, including dates with Joanna Newsom and Giant Sand, as well as a single solitary U.S. appearance at a private party. (For details on attending this show, visit the Paper Bag site.)
