Leeds-based experimental post-rocking sorts Vessels are to tour their socks off ahead of the release of their debut album this summer.
White Fields and Open Devices is released in June, and was recorded under the watchful eye of John Congleton, frontman with The Paper Chase and producer of the likes of Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You. The five-piece call in at THIS SATURDAY'S DiScover Club at London's Notting Hill Arts Club, alongside Broken Records and The Monroe Transfer - get full details HERE.
