Seattle indie rock outfit Deep Sea Diver have unveiled their first UK headline tour, including a stop at London’s Pitchfork Music Festival this November.
The run follows a pair of already sold-out shows at Third Man Records in June, as well as a support slot for Wilco at the Royal Albert Hall on 22nd June (another sell-out).
The newly announced dates kick off in Cologne on 3rd November before heading to Berlin, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and Leeds, with the Pitchfork Festival appearance in Dalston on 8th November. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am BST.
The tour supports their latest album, Billboard Heart, which has drawn comparisons to St. Vincent and Flock of Dimes for its bold reinvention of indie rock. The record, led by guitarist Jessica Dobson and drummer Peter Mansen, features collaborations with Madison Cunningham and former Shins member Yuuki Matthews.
Billboard Heart is out now via Sub Pop, with vinyl editions available in opaque pink for UK and European buyers.
