DIKEMBE Joins Tiny Engines Roster

From the inbox:

Tiny Engines (Tigers Jaw, CSTVT, Look Mexico, Restorations) is stoked to welcome Gainesville, FL’s DIKEMBE to its growing family of bands. The label will release the quartet’s debut full-length, Broad Shoulders, on 12″ vinyl and digital formats in early 2012. Pre-orders will launch at the beginning of December.

Featuring front man Steven Gray and bassist Ryan Willems from fellow Tiny Engines roster mates WAVELETS – as well as members of SENDERS (Kiss of Death) and THE YOUNG HOOKERS – Dikembe is putting the final touches on the 11-song LP, which is its first official physical release. Earlier this year the outfit released a free digital EP, Chicago Bowls, to a good amount of blogosphere and message board acclaim. You can download those four songs here.

To celebrate today’s announcement, the band and label have teamed up with the folks at Alternative Press to debut the song “Librarians Kill For That Kind Of Quiet” Swing by the site and listen to the exclusive stream of this brand new track here.
