Weed Unveil Debut Album, Map Out North American Tour

BY Gregory AdamsPublished May 13, 2013

Having previously delivered a pair of 7-inches, Vancouver fuzz-pop quartet Weed are now ready to release their first-ever full-length. Titled Deserve, the West Coast outfit's debut LP drops July 22 through Couple Skate Records.

A press release notes that while Deserve apparently mines the same sort of "sludged out West Coast youth music" that was featured on 2011's "With Drug"/"Eighty" single and 2012's Gun Control EP, this latest song cycle finds also the act at their "most melancholy and melodic." The nine-song LP was recorded down in Seattle with Dylan Wall, and you can check out a sneak peek of the set down below via the album's "Set Me Back."

Weed are also just about to embark on a spring tour that will keep them busy beneath the border. They do, however, have a homecoming show booked in Vancouver on June 16.

Deserve:

1. Heal
2. Set Me Back
3. Gun Shy
4. Silent Partner
5. Hollowed Out
6. Options
7. Your Right
8. A Few Healthy Years
9. Granted
