Max Tundra will be embarking on an extensive six-week tour of the Americas, commencing on March 28th in Toronto in support of last year’s Parallax Error Beheads You. Joining him on the tour will be Domino labelmates Junior Boys, they of the forthcoming Begone Dull Care.

Also, in conjunction with the tour, Max Tundra will release a new digital single on March 31 for “Which Song” with two exclusive new B-sides, Tundra himself wrote up descriptions of the two new tracks:

“Gummiknüppel”- a euphoric techno “banger” I recorded whilst artist-in-residence at Worm in Rotterdam.
“Which Song (Silverlink Remix)” – a wonderful reinterpretation by my friend Alex.

Max Tundra, real name Ben Jacobs, is an English multi-instrumental musician, singer and music producer. He has released two well-received albums for Domino Records: Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be (2000) and Mastered By Guy At The Exchange (2002). He released his third album, Parallax Error Beheads You on Nov. 18, 2008 in the US. Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) says, “What sets Max Tundra apart from any other band in the world is his attention to detail. This album is impossibly full of ideas, seeking out every imaginable sound in the world and giving each their own curtain call.”

Begone Dull Care, the remarkable new album from the duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Matthew Didemus, professionally known as Junior Boys, is set for release on March 24th in their native Canada, with the US to follow on April 7th. Begone Dull Care is the band’s third album, following the critical and commercial successes of Last Exit (2004) and So This Is Goodbye (2006). The title is a reference to a short film by the pioneering Oscar-winning Scottish-Canadian animator and electronic composer, Norman McLaren, who was a big influence on the conception and creation of this album.
