Austin's What Made Milwaukee Famous are wasting no time releasing the follow-up to their debut album. Barely a year and a half after the arrival of the Barsuk edition of Trying to Never Catch Up (the original version of which, okay, came out in 2004), they will unleash What Doesn't Kill Us via Barsuk on March 4.

The band will head out on a North American tour in March and April, on which they're stuck opening for Louis XIV. What Doesn't Kill Us, indeed. But before that begins, they'll play a handful of other shows, including a five-show L.A. residency across various venues. The first pops off tonight (February 18) at Spaceland.

What Doesn't Kill Us:

01 Blood, Sweat and Fears
02 Sultan
03 Cheap Wine
04 The Right Place
05 For the Birds
06 Self-Destruct
07 Resistance St.
08 Prevailing Wind
09 And the Grief Goes On...
10 To Each His Own
11 Middle of the Night
12 The Other Side
