Portland indie-punks, The Thermals have announced they are have signed to influential Omaha label Saddle Creek for their new record.

The LP, entitled Desperate Ground, will come out via the imprint on 16 April.

Fuckin A and The Body, the Blood, the Machine.

Saddle Creek’s informal press release explains the move was a natural one:

1 Born to Kill
2 You Will Be Free
3 The Sunset
4 I Go Alone
5 The Sword By My Side
6 You Will Find Me
