Mr. Ted Leo and his band of trained medical professionals will return March 9 with The Brutalist Bricks (artwork above), his first record on the fantastic Merge label. While there’s not yet a track list, there is a single of sorts provided by Matador called “Even Heroes Have to Die” which you can download below. Based off that and the new songs he played at Bonnaroo this year, this is going to be a good record. If you live on the East Coast, Spain, or the UK, you’ll have a chance to hear some of the new tunes live before the record hits:
