Kemado Records has recently signed Langhorne Slim and will release his self-titled album on April 29. This will be Langhorne’s first full-length release following 2005’s critically acclaimed When The Sun’s Gone Down (Narnack Records), which Harp Magazine proclaimed, “A mad strummer from the heartland, a yelping choirboy looking for love and sexual healing...” Langhorne Slim is now confirmed for shows at SXSW. A national tour following the album’s release will be announced shortly.

The eponymous release features 13 new tracks, which were recorded at the Great North Sound Society in Maine. The album was produced by Langhorne’s drummer Malachi DeLorenzo and Josh Ritter’s keyboardist/producer Sam Kassirer, who also contributed piano, organ and accordion. On the recording of the album Langhorne states, “This experience in Maine with Sam, Malachi and Paul led us to our most comfortable, cohesive and soul-shaking music to date.” The song “Sometimes” was produced and mixed by Brian Deck (Iron and Wine) at Engine Studios in Chicago. Additional players on the album include Paul Defiglia (upright bass), Dan Nosheny (tuba, trombone), Brian Deck (keyboards, assorted effects) and Jim Becker (violin).

Langhorne Slim began his musical career in Brooklyn. He signed with Narnack records releasing his first EP, Electric Love Letter in March of 2004. The more varied and band-oriented full-length, When The Sun’s Gone Down followed in the spring of 2005. In 2006, Langhorne Slim signed with V2 Records and in September of that year released the Engine EP. Recently, Langhorne completed tours with The Avett Brothers, Murder By Death and Rocky Votolato.
