(7/24/00, 3 p.m. ET) - Harvey Danger has finally found a new home for its long-completed second album, King James Version, and will release the work on September 12. The Seattle alt-rock group, perhaps best known for its single "Flagpole Sitta" from its 1997 debut album Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? has hooked up with London/Sire Records for the overdue project. The announcement comes after an extended period of limbo for the group, stemming from the Universal Music Group merger in 1999 that devoured the band's previous label, PolyGram Records.

"The songs all feel like pieces of a whole, contiguous work," Danger frontman Sean Nelson tells LAUNCH about the album. "It represents a big step forward for us." Guests include Posies co-frontman and R.E.M. sideman Ken Stringfellow and former Grant Lee Buffalo singer/guitarist Grant-Lee Phillips.
