As the band begins its European tour tonight, we are so proud to announce where you can find the new EP, Done With Love, which was released officially this week! Featuring a Dntel remix of Atlantis, two tracks from the Swim sessions, a revamped version of Restless, and Hometown, a song once only available on a split 7" single sold exclusively on a tour the WT2K did with Jenny Lewis long ago.

There are two versions of the EP. The vinyl version features 6 tracks, and can be bought in stores in Europe, with the band on the road, or in the U.S. exclusively at the band's online store. Additionally, the 4-song digital EP can be purchased on iTunes worldwide, eMusic, and the Amazon MP3 store.

You can listen to the song Hometown (available on both versions) in the myspace player, and you can receive a free download of the song When The Day Is Done (ONLY available on vinyl!) by joining the mailing list!
