The Weakerthans have completed work on their strongly anticipated fourth studio disc, Reunion Tour. Slated for a release through Anti-, the set was crafted among "the finest slaughterhouses, industrial sites and sub-degree temperatures" its Winnipeg, Manitoba hometown has to offer. Again partnering with Ian Blurtan, who produced 2003's Reconstruction Site, The Weakerthans deliver their strongest song-cycle yet. Launched with the quirky, memorable rocker "Civil Twilight", the charms of Reunion Tour quickly become evident on the rollicking "Relative Surplus Value", the glistening, evocative indie pop of "Night Windows" and the endearing, lease-ending balladry of "Sun In An Empty Room". Culled from the five years worth of material accumulated since the completion of Reconstruction Site, The Weakerthans build on the strengths of that critically-lauded effort, delivering its deepest and most heartfelt record yet. And from the warm, pensive tone of "Virtue the Cat Explains Here Departure" to the reflective artful approach of the title track - replete with a steady pulse of flute and horns - Reunion Tour promises to be the indie rock record of 2007's fourth quarter.
