The newly macabre Polyphonic Spree will kick off a U.S. tour in Nashville on May 7. The tour is in support of their previously reported new album, The Fragile Army, which comes out June 19 on the Spree's new label, TVT.

The Fragile Army's tracklist has changed slightly since our last report. The seventh song is now Wait EP track "Mental Cabaret" instead of "Oh I Feel Fine", and the tenth song is actually called "Watch Us Explode (Justify)", not "Watch Us Explode/Justify". Spree is in the details.

Right now, the band/choir/robe enthusiast club's calendar is pretty wide open after May, with just three festival dates scheduled for this summer. Don't be surprised if more dates crop up soon.

Updated tracklist:

01 Section 21 [Together We're Heavy]
02 Section 22 [Running Away]
03 Section 23 [Get Up and Go]
04 Section 24 [The Fragile Army]
05 Section 25 [Younger Yesterday]
06 Section 26 [We Crawl]
07 Section 27 [Mental Cabaret]
08 Section 28 [Guaranteed Nightlite]
09 Section 29 [Light to Follow]
10 Section 30 [Watch Us Explode (Justify)]
11 Section 31 [Overblow Your Nest]
12 Section 32 [The Championship]
