On February 11, Speedy Ortiz follow up this year's Major Arcana with a four-song EP called Real Hair. It's being released via Carpark. Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies) recorded and mixed the EP. Listen to "Everything's Bigger", above.

In a press release, singer/guitarist Sadie Dupuis says, "While the last album was kind of a breakup jam, these songs are a lot more introspective—myself dealing with and talking to and making sense of myself."

Read our Rising interview with Speedy Ortiz here. The band have also added a few more shows to their upcoming tour itinerary, which includes slots opening for the Breeders, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, and Los Campesinos!
