Bowerbirds' Pitchfork Recommended 2007 LP Hymns for a Dark Horse has itself a new label, a couple new tracks, and a brand new release date: June 17 in North America and August 18 in the UK from Dead Oceans. The disc, originally issued by Pitchfork contributor Grayson Currin's Burly Time imprint, is bolstered by "La Denigración" and "Matchstick Maker". It will also make its way to vinyl for the first time for the Dead Oceans incarnation.

Those Bowerbirds are touring quite a bit across the weeks and months to come, with a bunch of dates with kinda-sorta-labelmate Bon Iver in July and August.
