The Kooks (Astralwerks Records) have announced that their new album, Junk of the Heart, will be out September 13. Even better: They’ve lined up three exclusive U.S. shows for this summer.

Before the album hits the streets, the band will release “Junk of the Heart” as the first single off the record on July 11.

Junk of the Heart, the band’s third album, was produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Belle & Sebastian) and recorded in The Sound Factory (Los Angeles) and Sarm Studios (London).

The Kooks also hit the U.S. for a couple shows this summer. The group’s tour dates are as follows:

06/22 – San Francisco – Slims
06/23 – Los Angeles – The Troubadour
06/27 – New York – Bowery Ballroom
