NEW HOLD STEADY ALBUM THIS MAY (((UPDATED)))

UPDATE: Here's the cover art:

The Unified Scene knew it was coming ... The Hold Steady were dropping some new songs on the last tour, and today announced the release date for "Heaven is Whenever," due May 4. This is the first album since the debut without former keyboardist Franz Nicolay.

His parts were apparently re-recorded with a new keyboardist, but according to Pitchfork this album will be more guitar-oriented than the last two releases.
