Pitchfork

"Hang Them All" is a peppy little ditty near the front of Tapes 'n Tapes' forthcoming Walk It Off LP, devoid of much of the thudding, riff-tastic Dave Fridmann production that surrounds it. The song is, as they say, a standout, and the obvious choice for a first single.

And so it will be March 31, when XL takes "Hang Them All", couples it with non-album track "Wired", and cranks out a first single from Walk It Off (for the UK only). "Hang Them All" drops exactly a week before XL's UK release of Walk It Off, which finds its way to the States April 8. Fans of the track will wanna keep an eye peeled for a video for "Hang Them All", which the band claim is in the can and just waiting for release.

Tapes 'n Tapes will have a whole lot of walking to do on their North American tour, which launches on release date (April 8) with an in-store in New York City. The following night, the band hits "Conan". Then it's off to the UK and Europe in late May and early June for a freshly announced tour.
