The French Horn Rebellion are starting 2011 off right by announcing their debut full-length album for spring, two shows at SXSW, and a North American tour with Yelle. Basically, the French Horn Rebellion is ready to invade your ears all summer long.

Written, produced, and mixed by French Horn’s key members Robert and David Perlick-Molinari, The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion is the band’s first foray into album territory. The duo gained a following through their three EPs and The Infinite Music… marks a huge step for them. The new album follows the loose narrative on an unnamed French Horn player traveling through a jungle of electro, rock, and funk. “There is a story running through the album, it’s about the Universe,” says David Perlick-Molinari. “We’re pretty clear on what the story is, but what you take away from it may be something entirely different.”

Fans of the French Horn Rebellion can download an album sampler of The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion below.  The band’s tour with Yelle begins in April.
