Washington DC quartet The Apes are to release their fourth album, Ghost Games, early next year through the Gypsy Eyes label.
The date for your diary: February 19. The follow-up to 2005's most excellently weird Baba's Mountain is the first to feature the band's new singer Breck Bunson. DiS caught T'Apes with Breck at SXSW earlier this year and was properly impressed.
A new track, 'Beat of the Double', can be heard at the band's MySpace page, here. It's also available to download for free here.
