Worry not, indie pop fans of North America: those young go-getters in Black Kids aren't about to drop an album on you and then pretend like it never happened. Though they've got a smattering of U.S. dates around the time July melts into August-- just shortly after the July 22 North American release of their Columbia debut LP Partie Traumatic -- Black Kids are hanging pretty close to Europe this summer to better throw their weight behind Almost Gold's July 7 UK release of Traumatic.

But once things start cooling down a bit in mid-September, the Kids will make their triumphant return to the road for just shy of a monthlong North American Partie that kicks off in the most appropriate spot possible: their native Jacksonville, Florida.
