Little Dragons, Dirty Projectors, and Grizzly Bear will be opening on select dates.

In addition, the band is releasing Read Silence, a digital EP that features remixes of three tracks from Dear Science: "Shout Me Out (Willie Isz Remix by Jneiro Jarel)," "Stork & Owl (Gang Gang Dance Remix)," and "Red Dress (Remixed by THE GLITCH MOB)."
