We already told you about Why?‘s new album, Eskimo Snow. If you need a refresher, it’s a 10-track effort, described as “a little more resigned and introverted” than 2007’s Alopecia and due for release on September 22nd via anticon.
We also now know that the San Francisco rockers will be supporting the release with a lengthy North American tour this fall. Beginning in late September, Why? will embark on a six week cross country affair, meeting up with the likes of Mount Eerie, AU and Serengeti & Polyphonic along the way. Among particular highlight will be an appearance at this year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest.
Tickets are currently available via Ticketmaster.com.
