Minus the Bear Announce Headlining Tour For the Fall



Before Minus the Bear release their highly anticipated fourth album in early 2010, the band will be heading out on a fall headlining tour beginning October 30th in Eugene, Oregon. As previously reported, the band has been working with Grammy-award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket, The White Stripes) on the as-yet-untitled album. Over the past four months, the band has been holed up at Avast! Recording Co. fine tuning an album that according to guitarist Dave Knudson "has more scope than the past records." Knudson says, "Some songs are more poppy and immediate while others expand on the complexities we're known for."

Minus the Bear will be releasing the album's first single, "Into The Mirror," on October 27th. The single will be paired with b-side "Broken China" and will be available only as a 7" and through digital music stores.
