After two well-received EPs, both of which were made available for free online, Chicago quartet YAWN have announced an official full length, titled Open Season, set for release on August 30.

The group, who've garnered press from Chicago Reader and Pitchfork, said in a Facebook post that news about Open Season's record release party would be forthcoming.

In the meantime, reacquaint yourself with YAWN's music -- which is filled with percussive, electronic-heavy psychedelic pop music comparable to Animal Collective and Yeasayer with the video for "Toys" we shared with you recently and their video below for "Kinf Of Guy."
