New York Dolls announce new LP

New York Dolls have announced the details of their fourth album, which is due for release in the US on May 5 and in the UK a day earlier.

The follow-up to One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This is the band's second studio effort since their 2004 reunion.

Entitled Cause I Sez So, the record sees surviving founder members David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain reunite with producer Todd Rundgren for the first time since the group's 1973's self-titled debut.

Johansen said: "It was amazing working with Todd again, and I think we were able to evoke the special sound of our first album and drag it by the hair into the present."

The full tracklisting for the LP is as follows:

• 'Cause I Sez So'


• 'Muddy Bones'


• 'Better Than'


• 'Lonely So Long'


• 'My World'


• 'Ridiculous'


• 'Temptation To Exist'


• 'Making Rain'


• 'Drowning'


• 'Nobody Got No Bizness'


• 'Trash'


• 'Exorcism Of Despair'

The band have also confirmed a number of appearances at this year's South By Southwest festival.
