Black Kids Sign Major Label Deal

All of the Black Kids hype that's lit up blogs and the occasional print mag since last year's CMJ will finally end in an actual album July 22, when Columbia Records releases Partie Traumatic in North America. As previously announced, Almost Gold—a Columbia imprint—will handle the disc in other territories.

Fun fact: Bernard Butler, a beacon of Brit-pop from his riff-raking days in Suede, produced the Kids' debut effort.

Partie Traumatic tracklisting:

1. Hit the Heartbrakes
2. Partie Traumatic
3. Listen to Your Body Tonight
4. Hurricane Jane
5. I'm Making Eyes at You
6. I've Underestimated My Charm (Again)
7. I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You
8. Love Me Already
9. I Wanna Be Your Limousine
10. Look at Me (When I Rock Wichoo)
