Pitchfork

It turns out, May 27 is not, as we'd previously reported, the North American release date for the Futureheads' new one, This Is Not the World. June 3, however, very much is. No reason was given for pushing the record back a week, but it's still due in the UK May 26, and still emerges from the band's new label Nul Records.

And, as it turns out, when the disc makes its way to the UK May 26, you can take your pick between the regular old edition and the deluxe model. The fancy one comes with a 60-page booklet stuffed into a special package and a DVD featuring a live show recorded at London's Brixton Academy in March, interviews with the band members, and acoustic and "street" performances. It's only available from the Futureheads' website, and it's limited edition, so don't spill anything on it.

And, wouldn't you know it, there's even more Futureheads coming down the pipe. A single for "Radio Heart" is due in the UK May 19 on CD and two-colored 12", sporting two new B-sides and a live take on "Radio Heart". And their tour just keeps getting bigger, with a ton of new festival additions since our last report as well as a one-off American date at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on June 17.

All the present concerns of the Heads from the future, just past this right here.
