This morning, Noisey debuted a brand new single from Avid Dancer. It’s called “I Feel It” and precedes a lengthy fall tour with BØRNS.

Of the song, lead Dancer Jacob Summers told Noisey: “Last summer I was really focused on the idea of stating true and simple things in my songs. I remember sitting down with my guitar, ready to say something honest. I thought about the girl I was dating and how for the first time I truly could feel the love from someone. Undeniably, I could actually feel it. The words ‘I feel it’ came out immediately when I started playing… When I recorded this song, I wanted to sing as openly and honest as I could since the topic was so personally truthful. It’s the most I’ve ever put myself out there in the studio. I wouldn’t keep any vocal take that didn’t make me clench my fists when I sang the chorus. I’ve been excited to release this song since the day I wrote it!”

It’s a good day. Avid Dancer’s debut full-length, 1st Bath, has a release date. And artwork. And a tracklist. And you can hear a song from it right now.

The record is due April 14th, and all twelve songs are listed below. You’ll recognize some of them from last year’s I Want To See You Dance EP. Our friends over at Stereogum just unveiled the first piece of new music from the record, “All Your Words Are Gone.”

1st Bath Tracklist:
01 All The Other Girls
02 Stop Playing With My Heart
03 All Your Words Are Gone
04 I Told You So
05 Not Far To Go
06 All The Things You Keep
07 Medication
08 I Want To See You Dance
09 Whatever’s On Your Mind
10 Nobody Else
11 Why Did I Leave You Behind
12 Up Against The Wall

You can pre-order the album now on iTunes and get an immediate download of “All Your Words Are Gone.” Or you can reserve your copy of the CD or vinyl over in the Grand Jury shop.

Also, as we mentioned yesterday, the band will be playing a string of free residency shows at The Echo in LA throughout February. After that they’ll make the trek down to Austin for SXSW 2015, before hitting the road in support of the record.

Avid Dancer’s I Want To See You Dance EP is out today. You can grab a download on iTunes or pick it up at your local record shop. Of course, on the off chance that you need some extra convincing, the Arabella Anderson-directed video for the title track from the album should do the trick. Hat tip to our friends over at mtvu for premiering it this morning.

We’re only a few weeks away from the release of I Want To See You Dance, the debut EP from LA’s Avid Dancer. On the heels of Noisey’s premiere of the title track, Earmilk just unveiled “All The Other Girls.” Check out what they had to say about the track, and stream it below.

We’ve been waiting far too long to announce this: our second Grand Jury release comes courtesy of the brilliant Jacob Dillan Summers and his band Avid Dancer. Wait no more! You can listen to the title track from the forthcoming I Want To See You Dance EP (due 10/21) right now.

Dancer will be hitting the road later this week, before joining us in NYC for a few CMJ shows. Check out the dates over in the tour section.
