While there are plenty of great releases hitting stores this summer, you can now circle September 18 on you calendar, as that early fall Tuesday will see the release of Grizzly Bear’s highly anticipated follow up to their critically acclaimed 2009 album Veckatimest. The Brooklyn-based act, who recently uploaded the still untitled album’s lead track Sleeping Ute to YouTube, have also revealed the details of a lengthy world tour in support. The tour will kick off with a gig at The Junction in Cambridge, England, on August 28, and includes a record release show at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, as well as a high profile hometown show at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on September 24.
