Call it rigor mortis: spry punkers the Death Set are alive and well and putting out a whole bunch of music in the coming months. Ninja Tune offshoot Counter Records will issue the Death Set's full-length debut, Worldwide, April 7 in the UK and April 22 in North America.

Before that happens, though, there's a Counter single for album cut "MFDS" due in the UK February 11 and February 26 in digital form in North America, plus an etched 7" for "Around the World" coming to North America in March (exact date TBA). What's more, a video for "Negative Thinking" is already floating around. Couldn't settle on a single track to showcase the sound, could you, fellas? That's a nice problem to have.

This deadly combo will perform many a set over the next few months as well, with a huge tour hitting the U.S. soon and Europe and the UK sooner. They have plans to show themselves off at SXSW, though a couple dead dudes playing music is probably gonna draw a crowd no matter where they are.
