Ten songs, all written on an acoustic guitar that Carey Mercer inherited from his father, who passed away a couple years ago. That's how the new Frog Eyes album Pickpocket's Locket started.
It's out on Paper Bag August 28th, but you can hear the first single here, "Joe With The Jam".

He'll also be touring this fall with his former bandmate and pal Dan Bejar, opening a few dates for Destroyer (who, coincidentally, has a new album out on the same day).

Oh, and the lush strings on the song? They were arranged by another former bandmate and pal Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Moonface) and played by the award winning Jesse Zubot.
