Out of sight, out of mind; tends to happen these days as bands come and go at an alarming rate. Not sure why, but I kind of thought Imperial Teen was no longer together – in my defense, they haven’t released anything since 2007’s The Hair The TV The Baby and The Band. But not only is Imperial Teen still together, they are releasing their fifth album, Feel the Sound, on January 31, 2012. Though we’re still a good two-and-a-half months away from the release date, Merge Records has posted the band’s first single on Soundcloud. Check out AND download the poppy “Runaway” now.

BONUS: Read an interview from 1998 (!!!) that I did with Imperial Teen’s Will Schwartz.
