We're excited to officially announce that we'll be joining forces with Durham folk group Midtown Dickens, releasing their upcoming third album and continuing a musical journey that began three years ago. We admired Midtown Dickens from afar for a while before Trekky Records' Will Hackney spontaneously joined the band for a benefit show in Durham, NC. That inviting and communal nature is why we love working with the band, and why we're excited to be a part of their next chapter. The untitled new album, a follow-up to the band's 2009 self-released Lanterns, is currently being recorded by acclaimed producer Scott Solter (The Mountain Goats, Superchunk, Spoon) and will be released in early 2012. In the meantime, fellow Durhamite John Darnielle has invited Midtown Dickens to join The Mountain Goats on a string of West Coast dates. Parties below:
06-16 Seattle, WA - The Showbox
06-17 Vancouver, BC - The Biltmore
06-18 Portland, OR - Aladdin
06-20 San Francisco, CA - The Fillmore
06-21 Costa Mesa, CA - Detroit Bar
06-23 Los Angeles, CA - El Rey
06-24 Santa Barbara, CA - Soho

Fantastic news! I can't think of a better home for them than at Trekky! And to top it off, touring with The Mountain Goats. A great day for the band, the label, and local music!
