Pitchfork

Still-in-school London quintet Cajun Dance Party have an ambition that belies their youth: releasing two albums in what remains of 2008. They'll get off to a running start on April 28 with the UK release of their debut, The Colourful Life, via XL.

The Colourful Life contains CDP's previous limited-edition singles "The Next Untouchable" and "Amylase", plus seven more tracks. One of those, "The Race", arrives in single form a week before the album on April 21.

Details surrounding CDP's next album are much more vague. What we know is that they're writing and recording it now, and they'll do their darnedest to get it out this year. Their dedication to recording is manifest in their almost bare tour schedule, which consists of a handful of dates in July.
