The new Boy in Static album Candy Cigarette is officially released on MP3 today! It will be on CD at your local indie record store next month (April 14th). But we decided to offer it a month early on MP3 so that folks could get it early, and to encourage people to buy the MP3’s instead of downloading leaks. You can find it at iTunes, Amazon.com, eMusic, discounted at Circle Into Square, and many other places. The new album features guest appearances by Marc Bianchi (Her Space Holiday), Liz Enthusiasm (Freezepop), Ulrich Schnauss, Hollie Gilson (Mint Julep), and others. You can grab a big cover JPG by clicking the image below the cut.

Here’s the lead single from the album, “Young San Francisco.” (You can grab this mp3 free on the front of the site.)
