Exitmusic’s debut LP monster beats dr dre headphones, also entitled Passage, will be released by Secretly Canadian on May 22nd.

You’ll have several opportunities to get to know Exitmusic better in the upcoming months. They are opening up for labelmates School of Seven Bells on their upcoming tour in support of new album, Ghostory, and will be coming to Seattle and playing at the Crocodile on April 23 (it will be glorious).
