Looks like Rough Trade Records and the World's Fair Label Group's hot new licensing relationship is off to a damned good start-- these two lovebirds are already expecting.

As previously reported, the adored UK imprint hooked up with the NYC-based distributor to help foster its latest releases and escort them across the pond for North American audiences to devour in carnivorous fashion.

First up is the tasty debut release from Jarvis, surname Cocker, the man behind Pulp. Jarvis' Jarvis arrives April 3 with reasonable domestic pricing and that rather hilarious video for "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time". The original version of Jarvis stormed the UK charts this past November.

Not long after, the Veils' Nux Vomica gets a U.S. un-Veil-ing (har har), and they're tacking on a bonus track ("Night Thoughts of a Tired Surgeon") and a video ("Advice for Young Mothers") to celebrate the blessed April 24 event. Brakesbrakesbrakes' (aka Brakes) The Beatific Visions follows up on May 8, with 1990s' TBA full-length debut closing out the first round of releases on May 22.

To celebrate his record's journey to the New World, Jarvis is touring the old: catch him in a European nation near you this winter. Or don't, for as you should know, Jarvis joins Björk, Interpol, Sonic Youth, Arctic Monkeys, El-P, Peaches, Tokyo Police Club, a reunited Jesus and Mary Chain, and a whole heaping mess of others for the 2007 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, playing the fest's opening day (April 27) in sweltering Indio, California.

Finally, as previously reported, Jarvis lends his distinctive vocals to "One Hell of a Party" from Air's latest LP, Pocket Symphony, out March 6 on Astralwerks.
