The Brooklyn-based quartet Little Women will be touring both North America and Europe this spring in support of its full-length debut, Throat, coming April 13th on AUM Fidelity.

The group, featuring Travis Laplante (tenor saxophone), Darius Jones (alto saxophone), Andrew Smiley (guitar) and Jason Nazary (drums), works as a collective to create extended suites renowned for their dynamic, hard-hitting amalgam of jazz, punk, metal and noise.

Throat, its second recording following the 2008 EP, Teeth (Sockets/Gilgongo), documents the band’s latest suite, a seven-part work meant to be heard in a single listening. The music will be available in three formats: digital download, CD and limited edition LP.
