Modest Mouse have cancelled an upcoming European tour in order to concentrate on finishing their new album.
The group had been due to fly to Europe for a full UK tour as well as festival appearances at T In The Park and Latitude, but have now announced their decision to concentrate solely on studio work as they look to complete their follow-up to 2007’s ‘We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank’ in time for a scheduled 2014 release.
“After much thought, we have decided to cancel our EU/UK tour to continue work on our forthcoming album,” a statement released on their official website reads.
“We do appreciate our fans and promise that we will make it up to you next year. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase. We look forward to sharing our new music with the world next year.”
