If the release of WHY? EP The Hollows (Anticon) left you hungry for more, then rejoicing is in order. The Bay Area trio is headed on tour in support of their new album, Alopecia. Joining the band on tour is Br. Danielson, Cryptacize, Panther, Samara Lubelski, Doofgoblin, YACHT, Mount Eerie and labelmates Son Lux.
Alopecia is set to hit shelves on March 11, 2008. Shortly thereafter, the band is headed on an ambitious US tour with tour dates from coast to coast and an overdue performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
