Says Pitchfork, High Violet—the eagerly-anticipated follow-up to Boxer (one of our favorite albums of '07)—will be unleashed on May 11 on 4AD. In addition, blues-garage duo The Black Keys announced earlier this week that they'll be chasing November's hip-hop-collaboration experiment, Blakroc, with a new full-length titled Brothers, which is set for a May 18 release on Nonesuch.
