“Crush Songs” will release in the U.S. on Sept. 9 and in the U.K. Sept. 8. It’s being released through Cult Records, a label headed by The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas.
A limited, special vinyl edition will first be available in pre-release, featuring personal drawings and handwritten lyrics from Karen O. The songs were written around the time when she was 27 years old (around the period of 2006-2007) and, in her words, is “the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade.”
