Toronto’s "two-headed indie Timberlake” Woodhands have officially signed to Paper Bag Records to release their forthcoming album, Heart Attack. Scheduled for release on April 1, the band’s debut will feature "nine absolute bangers and the one requisite slow jam, for artistic cred." Fellow Paper Bag artist Laura Barrett - who's own debut for the label, Earth Sciences drops February 25 - provides vocals on the album closing "Sailboats."

Also in the cards for the band is an appearance on the upcoming Sally Shapiro album Remix Romance Vol. 1, as remixers for the Swedish Italo disco star’s "Anorak Christmas.”

Woodhands are currently scheduling a North American tour this spring in support of Heart Attack. Before then, however, they have a number of appearances booked:

2/10 – Hamilton ON, Casbah (Blue Rodeo afterparty)
2/29 – Montreal QC, Concordia University (Art Matters Festival)
3/4 – Toronto ON, Wrongbar (DJ set w/ Sally Shapiro)
3/12 – Austin TX, SXSW (Paper Bag/Upper Class showcase w/ Sally Shapiro, the Acorn, Laura Barrett, Cadence Weapon, the Russian Futurists and the Cansecos)
