Deleted Scenes leave their homes in the East tomorrow and make their way in our specific direction, as they head off on tour behind their album Birdseed Shirt. In addition to possessing one of the year's finest titles, the album scored an 8.0 on a particular website named after an agricultural tool. Here's a song, which serves as a pretty good demonstration of what the band does well:

The songs seems to stumble forward over the repeating keyboard figure, the rhythm section just slightly ahead of the vocals, as if trying to head the singer off or keep him from meandering too far out of line. Deleted Scenes play The End June 1 w/Au Revoir Simone and The Antlers; full tour itinerary after the jump.
