BRETON announce their signing to FatCat Records, the label who discovered Sigur Ros, Animal Collective and No Age.
The signing follows a very busy year for BRETON, a year that saw them release a critically acclaimed EP trilogy, as well as creating fantastic videos (Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Penguin Prison, Flats) and remixes (Temper Trap, Local Natives, IS TROPICAL, Chapel Club, Tricky, Esben and the Witch) under their bretonLABS incarnation.
Breton have also announced they will be joining Tom Vek as sole support on his long-awaited UK tour later this month.
Here are full dates:
13 June – Ruby Lounge, Manchester
14 June – Classic Grand, Glasgow
15 June – HMV Institute Library, Birmingham
16 June – Heaven, London
18 June – Concorde 2, Brighton
Straight after the Tom Vek tour BRETON will leave for Mosfellsbaer, Iceland, where they will be recording their self-produced debut album in Sigur Ros’ Sundlaugin Studio.
The as-yet untitled album is set to be released on FatCat Records in early 2012.
To give a taste of things to come, BRETON have made available a free download via their Facebook page; a demo version of a track set to appear on the forthcoming album.
