Born Ruffians (whose members, I would wager, collectively own every Animal Collective release ever) will issue Red, Yellow and Blue, the first full-length collection of their sprightly, circular pop blasts February 25 on Warp in North America. Fans of the Ruff stuff in the UK, Europe, and Japan, fear not; the disc will emerge from Warp in your lands come May 26. Hey, remember when Warp was an IDM label?

The band just wrapped a sizeable tour with their countrymen in Caribou. They promise to "tour a ton in 2008," although at the moment it appears they've only begun to sketch out the dates.
