We’re a bit late on covering this bit of news, but it’s always better late than never. The tour also recently expanded its tour dates, so what better time than now? Instrumental favorites Animals as Leaders will be embarking on a headlining tour across North America with After the Burial, Navene K (the electronic project of former AAL drummer Navene Koperweis), and unsigned tech-hounds CHON. Sumeriancore will be defended.

The PRP also claims that we can expect a new Animals as Leaders record out at some point in this timeframe. That’s news to me, even though I should have noticed how “Album Release Tour” is featured on the poster. Oops. Be on the look out for some more official word on the group’s third album in the coming weeks if that’s the case.
