The Detroit duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. just announced it will drop its full-length debut April 26. The release is titled It’s A Corporate World and will come out on Quite Scientific Records. The oil painting pictured here of group members Daniel Zott and Josh Epstein is by Joanna Marie Care and will figure into the cover art.

The electronic-influenced indie duo made waves last year after releasing a debut EP, Horse Power, that featured the catchy “Simple Girl.” Some of the songs from the debut were performed live on KEXP recently. The group also dropped a second EP, My Love Is Easy: Remixes Pt. 1, featuring remixes from Deastro, Prussia and others. The two EPs will be combined for an upcoming vinyl release which the band will sell on tour.
