Denver-based rockers of no little excellence Planes Mistaken For Stars - soon to be seen in this country of ours on something the kids are calling 'a tour' - have finished work on their third album proper.
Mercy, the follow-up to 2004's Up In Them Guts, is to be released through Abacus on October 3rd; it was recorded with Matt Bayles (Isis, Blood Brothers) in Seattle. One cut from the long-player, 'Crooked Mile', can be heard at the band's MySpace page, here. It sounds goooood, yo.
The band's European dates look like this...
July 25 London The Barfly 26 Wolverhampton Little Civic 27 Coventry Colosseum 28 Derby Victoria Inn 29 Manchester Urbis 30 Dublin Crawdaddy 31 Liverpool Barfly
