Twerps Announce 2015 Album, Tour After Signing With Merge

Twerps are about to close out 2014 with a flourish. A trio of December shows back home (Australia) will put an exclamation point on the dreamy jangle-rockers' most successful year to date; one that's included signing to Merge, dropping an EP (Underlay) and then a new single ("Back to You").
