The Big Scary Monsters-signed Anathallo will cross the Atlantic this week to begin a UK tour.
Starting Saturday, the Michigan septet will play nine dates with Manchester Orchestra to coincide with the release of a single, the adventurously-titled ‘Hanasakajijii (A Great Wind More Ash)’ arriving on the 11th of February.
Backed by B-side ‘Entropy’, the track is taken from 2007’s US-only release Floating World. A new album is expected to arrive on these shores this spring, for now though, live dates:
February
9 Dublin Crawdaddy
10 Glasgow Oran Mor
11 Leeds Cockpit
12 Birmingham Barfly
13 London Scala
15 Manchester Academy 3
16 Bristol Thekla
17 Nottingham the Bodega
18 Brighton Pressure Point
19 London Water Rats *
