Twerpsnew album, Range Anxiety, will be out next week via Merge/Chapter Music and it’s one of my favorite 2015 records (so far). This is rambly/shambly indie rock in the grand tradition of The Clean, Galaxie 500, The Pastels, packed with lovely little arrangement touches and no shortage of catchy choruses. It’s slack but never lazy, mellow but never dull, and there’s not a bum song on the album. The whole album is streaming ahead of its release and you can listen (via Hype Machine) below.

As mentioned, Twerps will be touring with Ultimate Painting (a great double-bill) around SXSW, starting with two NYC shows: March 13 at Rough Trade and March 14 at Mercury Lounge. Tickets are still available. Updated tour dates are listed below.
