Ides of Gemini will release an exclusive Records Store Day 7" via Magic Bullet on April 18.

The band, currently on tour with indie rockers The Mountain Goats, will release an Ep featuring "Cathage" and "Strange Fruit" for the musical holiday. B-side "Strange Fruit" was first written as a poem by Abel Meeropol in 1937, and set to music by Billie Holiday in 1939--and covered many times since.

Ides of Gemini will set off on another short tour once their current run with The Mountain Goats ends.
