Love of Diagrams Prep Matador LP, Tour With Ted Leo

Australian three-piece Love of Diagrams, one of Matador's recent signings, are getting ready to prove themselves to the world. After putting out their self-titled EP on Matador last month, they're gearing up for the release of their sophomore full length, Mosaic.

The disc, which was produced with Bob Weston (of Shellac/Mission of Burma) last spring, lands on the trio's home continent March 3 via Remote Control; it's due in the rest of the world on April 10 via Matador.

In support of Mosaic and the EP, the band will launch the first leg of a lengthy tour this evening in Los Angeles. After heading to Europe in mid-March, they'll return to North America for a somewhat previously reported jaunt alongside Ted Leo/Pharmacists.
