With the approach of the early 2015 release of their new album, 'The Great Pretenders,' Mini Mansions have released a teaser of sorts in the form of the synth-driven new single 'Death Is a Girl' -- you can listen to it below.

The new wave, psychedelic pop single, which is available as a 7-inch single, is backed with a cover of Sparks' 'Sherlock Holmes.' The band's new LP will be available in both the U.S. via T Bone Burnett's Electromagnetic Recordings and Capitol Records, as well as in the U.K. via Fiction Records.

Fortunately for Mini Mansions, they already have a leg in the scene; vocalist Michael Shuman also slaps the bass for Queens of the Stone Age. 'The Great Pretenders' features collaborations with the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner.

The collaboration with Turner is more than just a one-off performance; Mini Mansions will be supporting Arctic Monkeys for a few dates in the U.S. before hopping the pond for an extensive European tour. Get all the dates here.
