New Jersey heavy hitters Titus Andronicus will be dropping their Civil War-themed sophomore album The Monitor, named after an ironclad Union battleship, on March 9 through XL Recordings. Judging from the sounds of the first available track, “Four Score and Seven”, which is split into Part 1 and Part 2 below, the band hasn’t lost any of their edge since the cathartic The Airing Of Grievances blew out my speakers early last year. “Four Score and Seven” will be released as a 7” single prior to the album‘s release - that’s why it’s split, so each part could fit on a side of vinyl. Much more detail was revealed earlier today over at Pitchfork. The list of upcoming 2010 releases to be excited for just keeps growing. But for now, just listen up:
MP3 :: Four Score And Seven (Part One)
MP3 :: Four Score And Seven (Part Two)
(from The Monitor. Info here)

Really excited for this album James. Loved Airing of Grievances.
