Madison bred Pale Young Genlemen follow up their MoB approved self-titled debut with the release of Black Forrest (Tra La La) on October 7th via Science of Sound. Listening to the new record it’s hard to believe that this is the same band that we first interviewed over a year and a half ago.

If their first record was year-end worthy and critically acclaimed, Black Forrest (Tra La La) advances them past those well-earned accolades into an entirely different level of success. This record combines all the elements of world-infused sounds that is sure to make any fan of Andrew Bird or Beirut a happy listener.

I can promise you that this band will leave on their soon departing two-month tour and come back with an army of new fans. Pick up a copy of the new record on October 7th and support one of Wisconsin’s finest. Until then, we’ve got a free and legal download of “The Crook Of My Good Arm” for you below.

Pale Young Gentlemen will play two CD release parties in Wisconsin starting at Milwaukee’s Mad Planet on Thursday, October 2nd and Madison’s Cafe Montmartre the following night on Friday, October 3rd.
