New Jersey based Yo La Tengo will release their latest album early next year, and have also unveiled a series of tour dates which will take them across North America, the UK and mainland Europe during the coming months.
‘Fade‘ will follow the 2009 twelfth studio LP ‘Popular Songs‘ on January 15th 2013 after sessions with John McEntire at Chicago’s Soma Studios. Additional versions of the album will include a deluxe, numbered edition complete with a bonus 7″ vinyl of the Todd Rundgren cover ‘I Saw The Light‘ and Times New Viking’s ‘Move To California‘, while a MP3 download offers an 11-minute bonus track.
The lengthy touring schedule is due to begin with a series of hometown shows at Hoboken’s Maxwells venue, with European dates opening up much later on March 1st next year in Portugal. UK gigs in London, Manchester and Glasgow, as well as a short stop in Dublin, are also booked for that month.
