The alt-rock band announced Friday that it is heading on tour in support of the forthcoming sixth studio album.
Screamer, which unlike previous albums features several guest contributions, drops October 18. It is the band’s first new record since 2015’s Dopamine. The tour kicks off a couple of weeks later on November 8.
“We have always been so insular,” said Jenkins, “and on Screamer we adopted an open-door policy — come in, be musical, and follow the song where it takes us.”
The announcement is fresh off the heels of the group’s successful summer run, which featured a song list of their old hits. Much to the group’s liking and surprise, their oldies proved as popular as ever.
“We didn’t think we could sustain a tour without new music,” said frontman Stephan Jenkins recently. “And yet our people have just really shown up. It’s actually one of the bigger tours we’ve ever done. That kind of blows my mind. It definitely gives us confidence.”
