Hercules and Love Affair Sign to Mute for U.S. Release

Hercules and Love Affair Sign to Mute for U.S. Release

We've made no secret of our love for Hercules and Love Affair's self-titled debut-- shucks, we even think it's some of the Best New Music going around. But we've also made no secret of our chagrin over its lack of availability in H&LA's home country: the United States.

But, like a real live Hercules smiting the mighty foe of import fees, the folks at Mute Records have seen fit to license the LP from DFA for release in the U.S. It will be in stores June 24. What's more, they're releasing the fantastic Antony Hegarty-laced "Blind" as a single May 27 for all your American neo-disco needs.

That Hercules and Love Affair tour got a few more dates added to its mighty roster, and the whole she-bang is yours for the lookin' after the jump.

UPDATE: They also added an American show! Yay!
