Circles Around The Sun have announced a batch of 2023 tour dates spanning across the northeast. The group will be finishing their year off with a New Year’s Eve performance sharing the stage with The Infamous Stringdusters at The National in Richmond, VA.
The January tour dates kick off at Lark Hall in Albany, NY on January 20th and then the band stays in the state for more more show at the Brooklyn Bowl on January 21st. Up next are three nights in Pennsylvania with stops at Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, Thunderbird Music Hall in Pittsburgh and XL Live in Harrisburg. Circles Around The Sun’s tour comes to a close at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA on January 29th.
Along with the tour dates, the group will be dropping a brand new album titled Language which is set to release this spring via Megaforce Records. Circles Around the Sun have also released a new single called “Outer Boroughs” which will appear on the album, listen below:
Regarding the new tune, guitarist John Lee Shannon stated:
“‘Outer Boroughs’ was initially composed when the track emerged from an impromptu jam in the studio around a four-chord sequence Adam was playing around with. Dan’s bassline is one of my favorites, and is unusual in that he initially heard the ‘1’ in a different place than intended, giving extra emphasis to the downbeat of the second measure.” He continues, “It’s a breezy groove that paints several landscapes in vivid color before departing into deep space for an extended middle jam. Originally titled ‘Ouroboros’ for its cyclical nature, it was later changed to “Outer Boroughs” for a bit of mondegreen and a nod to the greatest city in the world.”
Tickets go on sale for the newly announced winter 2023 tour go on sale Friday November 11th at 1pm ET. See below for a full list of tour dates and tracks for the upcoming Language album below and click here for more information.
