MTV debuts new Midtown Dickens song, US tour announced



MTV Hive debuted a new song from Midtown Dickens' Home today. "Cross My Heart" is one of the darkest passages on Home, beginning with an ominous drone and an anxious finger-picked guitar and building into a tense wave of synths and bowed cymbals before breaking into a hopeful campfire sing-a-long. Home will be out on April 3, 2012 in Trekky Records' signature 3-part package, including an LP, CD and digital download. The band has also announced a US tour in support of home, including shows with Retribution Gospel Choir, Wooden Wand, and a stop at Portland's celebrated Pickathon Festival. Dates below:
