Steve Brooks has had quite a year. It’s only been a few months since a reunited Floor released a very solid comeback album of poppy sludge, along with the expected touring and press cycles that come with it. Lest his other projects begin to feel neglected though, it appears Torche is back in full swing as well. The band had already announced a smattering of Australian tour dates for October, but via the band’s Facebook page yesterday they also announced a string of US dates for late September. Check out the dates for both tours after the jump.

The band is also reportedly expected to have a new album next year through Relapse Records, though details at this time are scant. With the success of Oblation and Harmonicraft before that though, I think it’s safe to say that whatever Brooks and co. come out with next will be delightfully hook-filled and sludgier than a Florida swamp in August.
