The Essex Green have announced a few more U.S. tour dates. They begin their spring tour to promote their new album, Cannibal Sea, on April 5 in Germany, then they sweep through Europe and begin conquering the States on April 28 in Chicago. To prepare for the onslaught, you can purchase the album now, listen to it streaming at Merge's website, or read my review.
