Good news for Hot Club de Paris fans: the British post-post-post-punkers will be both releasing a new six-track EP and touring next month.

Titled With Days Like This As Cheap As Chewing Gum, Why Would Anyone Want to Work?, after a quote by British poet Matthew Welton, it features six new tracks from the trio, and will be released on both digital download and limited hand-numbered 10″ vinyl by Moshi Moshi.

Then this summer, a second EP titled The Rise and Inevitable Fall of the High School Suicide-Cluster Band will also be released. No details on that one as of yet.
