The Lonely Forest will release their new album Adding Up the Wasted Hours on October 8 via Trans / Chop Shop Records. Adding Up the Wasted Hours was recorded by Death Cab For Cutie member Chris Walla. The album includes 11 new songs, including the track “Warm/Happy.” Said the band of the first new song they’ve released in a few years, “Warm/Happy, lyrically, is a self-assuring song. I think artists can have a hard time connecting with people outside of their art…which is where the chorus line “We hate to relate so we synthesize, we’re warm and happy” comes from. Our music is what bridges that gap and helps us communicate.”
The group has also announced a Fall headline tour in support of the release beginning on Oct 10 in Nampa, ID; hitting numerous markets through November including Los Angeles, New York City, and more. Having spent most of 2011 and 2012 on the road, including outings with Death Cab For Cutie, The Joy Formidable, Two Door Cinema Club and Minus the Bear as well as a show-stopping set at Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival, which saw them playing to thousands of people on the festival’s main stage, this will be the band’s first proper headlining tour. For the band’s full itinerary, please see below.
