The band broke through in 2003 with Chutes Too Narrow and their most recent album, 2007’s Wincing The Night Away, went top ten in the US, Canada and Australia.

Ringleader James Mercer hasn’t been totally absent since then, participating in the Broken Bells group with DangerMouse.

Now the band have announced a new album on their dot com, again written and almost entirely performed by Mercer, to be released in March next year.

It’s titled Port Of Morrow, featuring ten tracks that were recorded this year in LA and Portland and will be released on Mercer’s Aural Apothecary label through Columbia.

They also plan a tour in the new year, with a band comprised of Mercer, Yuuki Matthews on bass, Jessica Dobson on guitar, Richard Swift on keys and Joe Plummer on guitar.
