Dear Landlord have hit the studio to begin recording for two splits. The band last released Dream Homes in 2009. They explained:

We are going to Atlas Studios in Chicago on Dec. 6th, 7th and 8th to record 4 new songs. Two of them are going on a split 7" with The Dopamines, which should be out in early 2011 on Paper + Plastick. The other two are for a different split 7" with Toys That Kill, and that will be coming out on No Idea Records – also sometime early next year. With only 763 days until the Mayan calendar ends, we are trying to make the most of the time we have left as a band.

While in Chicago, Dear Landlord will be playing Sunday, Dec 5th at the Subterranean. They will be sharing the stage with Chinese Telephones, Vacation Bible School (record release!) and No Enemy. Doors are at 7:00pm. Show is 17+ and $8..
