New Black Kids single to be released, April 7

Jacksonville, FL's Black Kids have been darlings of the blog world since last October's Pitchfork review of their "Wizard of Ahhhs" EP, and with good reason; the four tracks show the most depth and talent of any new group since the Arcade Fire. They are preparing to release their much-anticipated debut album in July, and the first single, "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You," which also appeared on "Wizard of Ahhhs," will be released on April 7. The disc, also available as a 4-track iTunes exclusive, will feature a cover of Sophie B. Hawkins' "Damn I Wish That I Was Your Lover" as the B-side.
The music video is already out, and available on YouTube:
