The tour will be the UK's first opportunity to hear Asobi Seksu's new album 'Fluorescence' played live. 'Fluorescence' is out this week through Polyvinyl in the UK/EU and today in the USA. Their fourth album is available on CD, LP ' a Gatefold Jacket limited edition 180 gram pink vinyl no less - and digital formats. The album also features artwork from acclaimed designer Vaughan Oliver (Cocteau Twins, Pixies).

The signs in Chris Zane's studio couldn't have been any clearer: 'Don't Overthink It' and one simple word-'BOLD.'

Or as Asobi Seksu guitarist/singer James Hanna puts it, 'This time, our agenda was to not have one at all; to be mellow about the entire process instead of obsessing over everything.'
