In advance of a new album, the Silver Jews will be touring the UK and Ireland in May. Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea (reported on here) has been pencilled in for a US release in late June on Drag City, presumably near a similar UK date. The album will be the band's sixth and first since 2005's Tanglewood Numbers.
In the band's 20-year history, this tour will account for only their second gracing of these isles. Those dates then:
May 7 Brighton Concorde 2 8 Leeds City Varieties 9 Glasgow ABC 10 Belfast Black Box 11 Dundalk Spirit Store 14 Cork Cyprus Avenue 15 Galway Roisin Dubh 16 Dublin Whelan's 16-18 Butlins Holiday Centre Explosions In The Sky ATP 20 Hamburg Fabrik 21 Berlin Columbia Club 22 Frankfurt Brotfabrik 23 St. Gallen Palace Theatre 25 Paris Point Ephemere 27 Manchester The Dancehouse Theatre 28 Liverpool The Zanzibar Club 29 London ULU (moved from indig02) 29-31 Barcelona Primavera Sound Festival
And scene.
