The Hold Steady To Release New Record In May

The Hold Steady are set to release a new album, Heaven Is Whenever, on 5/4 via Vagrant. This being the first record in nearly six years without keyboardist Franz Nicolay and it is apparently "less anthemic" and more "complex/guitar heavy". Check out the tracklist and some upcoming tour dates below, as I'm sure more info will be coming soon.
