Electrelane: to open for Arcade Fire in Europe
Electrelane will receive major exposure as they opening for Arcade Fire in Europe, March 16 through April 5. Timed perfectly with the Arcade Fire tour is the band's first single, To The East, from their upcoming album, No Shouts, No Calls. The single will hit March 12.
In May Electrelane will headline their own tour, playing shows in Europe with The Early Years , and in North America with The Blow, and Tender Forever. "We're looking forward to playing live again, and coming to some of the places we didn't make it to last time!"
Arcade Fire released their much hyped album, Neon Bible , on March 5 in Europe, and March 6 in North America. Their shows have been selling out in only five minutes, undoubtedly making the opening slot a highly contested place to perform.
Too Pure wrote, "Electrelane preempt their album No Shouts, No Calls with the single To The East, backed with the exclusive Carolina Wren (a treat which emerged from the recent album sessions in Benton Harbour, MI) available in 7" and download formats."
On April 30, Electrelane will release their fourth full-length, No Shouts, No Calls. "The album recently appeared online to an outstanding reception within the blogosphere." No Shouts, No Calls was recorded at Planet Roc studios in Berlin over the summer of 2006, and in Benton Harbor, Michigan, in September. Check out the Too Pure podcast, which reveals more information about Electrelane's upcoming album.
