Pitchfork

Guillemots! It's a name to which you can't help but annex an exclamation point, given the exuberant, over-the-top pop these ambitious Londoners specialize in. And joy of joys, we'll get another heady dose of the stuff come spring, when Guillemots unleash their sophomore album, Red.

Red follows up 2006's Pitchfork Recommended Through the Windowpane and collects 11 adventurous tracks. Look for it March 24 in UK shops via Polydor, with a U.S. release tentatively slated to follow this autumn.

Prior to Red's unveiling, Guillemots have a little advice for us in the form of first single "Get Over It". That one hits the British Isles March 17, though a final tracklist has not yet been determined. Keep an eye out for a "Get Over It" video as well.

Migratory birds by nature, Guillemots will take to the skies on the eve of spring and alight in a few venues around their native Great Britain. Um, yay!
