Via: BillboardLate last year we told you that Black Rebel Motorcycle Club was back in the studio working on the follow-up to 2005's Howl. We can now tell you that the album has both a title and a release date: Baby 81 is set for release May 1 via RCA.

Baby 81:
01 Took Out a Loan
02 Berlin
03 Weapon of Choice
