Pitchfork

We're not sure if the title of the newly announced Kaiser Chiefs record, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, refers to the rioters the band once predicted, but we do know that the Kaiser Chiefs sure are fond of large groups of revved-up people.

The Angry Mob will invade, pitchforks and torches aloft, internationally on February 26 and in North America on March 27 via Universal. It was produced by Stephen Street at Berkshire's Hook End Manor and mixed by both Street and Cenzo Townshend at London's Olympic Studios.

The disc's first single, "Ruby", is due a week earlier on February 19 on B*Unique on CD, seven inch, and as a download. Each format brags a different B-side: "From the Neck Down" (CD), "Admire You" (seven inch), and "Ruby" (live at Berlin's Kesselhaus in November 2006) (exclusive to the download). These will all be available digitally as well.

The Kaisers will celebrate the album with a series of two-night stands in cities across the UK throughout February and March, and will make their way to the States in early April. Additional U.S. dates are in the works.
