The first announcement of acts in the prestigious indie label's Singles Club is particularly Australian-heavy.
Matador Records have announced initial details of their Singles Club for 2013 - called Singles Going Home Alone - and it seems that next year's selection of releases will have a particularly Australian bent to it.
The iconic indie label, which is based in New York, have today announced the first six releases to be issued in the 13-part series with a whole heap of Aussie acts in this first announcement.
Melbourne bands Dick Diver and Lower Plenty will be releasing a split 7" single, fellow Melburnians Bits Of Shit will release a single after that, while much-loved Sydney band Royal Headache were the sixth band announced to be a part of the series.
The Aussie acts share the space with the likes of indie legends Superchunk, Cheap Time founder Jeffrey Novak and Irish performer Cian Nugent.
