Augustines album available+tour dates

The new self-titled album by Augustines (previously We Are Augustines) is out now via Votiv/Oxcart and follows the group's 2011 breakthrough debut, Rise Ye Sunken Ships.

A North American headline tour starts at Venue in Vancouver, BC on Feb. 5. The six-week run will include shows at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA (February 11) and New York City's Bowery Ballroom (March 3). See below for itinerary or visit weareaugustines.com for further details. 

Billy McCarthy (vocals, guitar), Eric Sanderson (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Rob Allen (drums, percussion) - recorded Augustines with co-producer Peter Katis (The National). 

Where their first record was created in relative isolation, Augustines was made "with the awareness that we weren't going to be alone anymore," says McCarthy. "This is us handing it over to those people that sang our songs back to us all over the world. We turned from the interior and started considering some of the breathtaking moments that happened to us on the road, in different countries."
