French For Rabbits are have announced their debut North American release, due out onMay 27 courtesy of the venerable Lefse Records imprint.  The 7″ single features two tracks, “Goat” (which you can hear above) and “The Other Side” on the B-side.  The band has also announced a lengthy European tour with a few US dates planned for later this summer.

Hailing from New Zealand, haunting dream-pop duo French For Rabbits have been quietly building a reputation around the world for their growing collection of songs clouded in eerie instrumentation, and sea-misted lyricism.  They have since toured through Germany, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the UK with festival appearances at Secret Garden Party and the Wilderness Festival along the way. Brooke Singer, who is the fragile voiced songstress and writer for the duo, began performing with guitarist John Fitzgerald in 2011. They are currently working on their debut album due out in the fall of 2014.
