Brothers Matt and Bubba Kadane, formerly of Bedhead and current mainstays of indie rock sensation The New Year, are back in action. First, a new album is slated for release this fall on Touch and Go. No details aside from this little morsel of news has yet been announced, but I promise you this, dear reader: it won’t be called The End Is Near. (They’ve already named their 2004 album that.)

But before the album’s released, The New Year will do some road-testing this summer. Technically, it’s just Matt and Bubba on tour, and ostensibly, it’s to fight general tyranny, but no-matter-what-y, it’ll be sexy.

I still really love Bedhead:
