We’ve been keeping this secret since CMJ, but today we can finally announce that the debut LP from Mothers, When You Walk A Long Distance, You Are Tired, will be released via Grand Jury on February 26th, with our friends at Wichita handling the rest of the world.

Earlier today, “Too Small For Eyes” was premiered in this week’s All Songs Considered podcast on NPR. “Don’t get fooled by the mandolin,” says Bob Boilen. “This record goes all over the map in wonderful, wonderful ways” He’s right. And you’ll have an opportunity to pre-order it starting in early 2016. Until then, buy some tickets to one of the band’s 4,000 upcoming shows. No, really, there are 4,000 of them.
