Dan Bejar and Spencer Krug are already busy enough with their several other bands, but they'll become even busier when Swan Lake — the indie rock supergroup they're in with Carey Mercer — issue their long-awaited sophomore album.

The nine-song Enemy Mine will be released on March 24 through Jagjaguwar. It was recorded in Victoria last year and is reportedly more "stripped-down" than 2006's Beast Moans debut. Enemy Mine was originally supposed to be titled Before The Law, which was a Franz Kafka reference, but the band opted for an alternative.

Bejar is best known as the frontman of Destroyer and a member of The New Pornographers. Krug is in both Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, while Mercer is the frontman for Frog Eyes.

Here are the songs on Enemy Mine:

"Spanish Gold, 2044"
"Paper Lace"
"Heartswarm"
"Settle On Your Skin"
"Ballad Of A Swan Lake, Or, Daniel's Song"
"Peace"
"Spider"
"A Hand At Dusk"
"Warlock Psychologist"
