Small Black was one highly anticipated act of SXSW 2010. A duo at the time they applied, by March, in addition to the buzz, they had a full band, a home at label Jagjaguwar, an opening spot at the coveted Mohawk for the Panache showcase, not too mention lending their abilities to backing fellow chill waver Washed Out on all of his SXSW performances.

After a summer of touring, the guys have announced a full length release for October 26. If you're like the many who have worn thin their copy of Small Black's self-titled EP, than you'll be more than excited to hear that new tunes are on the way. Check out Pitchfork for the full track listing for the New Chain album. If your new to this band, check out their music video for "Descpicable Dogs" on our Youtube channel.
