Cajun Dance Party have announced plans to release two albums in 2008 with the first record due out next month.

The North London teenagers will first unleash their debut effort ‘The Colourful Life’ on April 28 with the first single ‘The Race’ set to precede it on April 21.

The band have been recording with Bernard Butler since last April at the West Heath Studios and it seems the sessions have been very fruitful.

They plan to release the second record in October following a full UK tour and festival appearances in the summer.

Speaking about their plans front man Daniel Blumberg said: "We’re very proud of our debut album. It’s taken a long time but now it’s done, we just want people to hear these songs as soon as possible.

“We will only ever release music we’re fiercely proud of but we do not want it to grow stagnant to ourselves.

“We understand a band has to do certain things to get music to as many as people as possible, but right now we’re finishing school and are well underway with the second record.

“The recording sessions went really well and we’ve got a whole batch of new songs which we want to start playing and recording too - the thought of waiting till we’ve finished school to get this debut out would have stalled the creative process. That’s the last thing we want to do."

The track listing for ‘The Colourful Life’ is:

1. Colourful Life
2. The Race
3. Time Falls
4. The Next Untouchable
5. No Joanna
6. Amylase
7. The Firework
8. Buttercups
9. The Hill, The View & The Lights
