Pitchfork

Weary, perhaps, of hearing the resounding resigned utterances of "curses!" when folks referenced the ex-McLusky members of Future of the Left's debut album, the Welsh wailers have given the fans something to rejoice about: they've stuck Curses on iTunes already in the UK, well in advance of its release. The album drops in a physical way September 24 in the UK on Too Pure, and October 9 January 29, 2008 in the U.S. Yankee fans can get their digital Curses in early, too, though not 'til September 25.

There will also be a single for Curses cut "Small Bones Small Bodies". The track itself is available for download now in the UK, and a UK-only 7" with two exclusive tracks-- "The Big Wide O" and "I Need to Know How to Kill a Cat", if you must know-- will be released September 10. Poor Mittens!

Future of the Left are touring through the foreseeable future. They'll open up for Floridian agit-punkers Against Me! on one heck of a lot of October dates.
