One of Minnesota's most treasured bands, the Burbs will drop a new full length, "Poets Party," on July 2, the day they rock the Entry's first post-pandemic show.
Chan Poling and company have teased the new album with the single "Summertime" — a dreamy, horn-punctuated dance-pop whirl — which will be available for streaming on May 28.
Formed in 1977, the Suburbs have long been one of the Twin Cities most popular bands. The "Love Is the Law" hitmakers released four albums (and an EP) in the 1980s, underwent some personnel changes and began recording again with 2013's "Si Sauvage," followed four years later by "Hey Muse!"
Frontman/songwriter/keyboardist Poling and drummer Hugo Klaers remain from the original lineup.
"Poets Party" will be available in CD, streaming and vinyl formats. The project was produced by Poling and Suburbs bassist Steve Price.
No word yet about tickets sales for the 7th Street Entry concert, the Burbs' smallest Twin Cities gig in ages. Meanwhile, the band will perform a more expansive show outdoors on June 19 in Burnsville as part of the Relief Session concert series.
