Figurines | New Album, Fall Tour

Figurines' eagerly-anticipated third album, When the Deer Wore Blue, hits U.S. stores September 11 and is a bit of a change for the band previously known for their jangly guitars. All that time in America last year touring for Skeleton had an affect on these Danes, as the new album is a bit moodier and more harmony-laden with a nods to the Beach Boys and even some guitar licks I'd call Southern-fried. But it still features the stop-start rhythms we've come to know and love. Here's one of When the Deer Wore Blue's more Figurines-ish sounding songs:

The band are heading our way, too, this fall for a fairly extensive North American tour that hits at least some of the Midwest before ending in a two-night stint at NYC's Mercury Lounge -- surprisingly not during CMJ.
