Pickpocket’s Locket is the forthcoming album from Frog Eyes, the indie rock outfit led by Carey Mercer. Due out through Paper Bag, the 10-track effort is said to feature additional contributions from Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug, who’s previously teamed up with Mercer in the supergroup Swan Lake.
Following June’s lead single “Joe with the Jam”, Frog Eyes have unveiled the opening track. “Two Girls (One for Heaven and the Other One for Rome)” is led by Mercer’s distinct vocals and laced with cascading percussion and piano. Listen in below.
Pickpocket’s Locket, the follow-up to 2013’s Carey’s Cold Spring, hits shelves on August 28th. In support, the band will embark on a short US tour next month.
