A quartet of accomplished Chicago musicians has formed under the confusing name Singer to release its debut album on Drag City. Comprised of Rob Lowe (Lichens, 90 Day Men), Ben Vida (Bird Show, Town and Country), and U.S. Maple members Todd Rittmann and Adam Vida, Singer features "all four of these kids singing, harmonizing new chords over their communal cacapho-din," according to a press release.

Singer's debut album, Unhistories, will arrive March 25 via Drag City. And not only is it full of the band's vocal and instrumental interplay, it also supposedly "claims to address the homeless crisis with a physical solution." We smell an Obama running mate!

Singer have two hometown shows coming up in February.

Unhistories:

01 Slow Ghosts
02 Divining
03 Please, Tell the Justices We're Fine
04 Oh Dusty
05 Dumb Smoke
06 Party Lessons
07 Mauvais Sang
