The Library, a band you haven’t heard of but won’t soon forget, are pleased to announce they have found an unlikely way out of Los Angeles; for better or for worse, the band has completed its debut EP, to be released March 10th, 2009.

Their EP, produced by Robert Shahnazarian, Jr. (Snow Patrol, Keane) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac) features remixes by DJ Skeet Skeet, DJ Skrillex, and The Library as well as performances by Court Alexander (vocalist), Steve Lopez (guitarist/synthesist), Matt Blackmar (keyboardist), Sean Krell (bassist/synthesist) and Dave Lewis (drummer),
