They'll take a break from recording their first album since 2003 to briefly tour this summer.

 

A message from their site:

 

We've been in the studio the past couple of months with our producer Andrew Weiss recording our new album. It is going to be an amazing record. I'm very skeptical when anyone makes claims about their new music so I'll just say that I can't wait for the album to be released. We have a few more songs to record and we will hopefully be finished with the tracking by the time our gigs start at the end of the month. We started out with 50 or 60 demos and whittled it down to around 20 songs. We recorded the album to 24 track 2 inch tape so it sounds the way music was meant to be heard. In addition to the album, we are talking about releasing an e.p. this summer with completely different tunes than the album--we hope to have the album out by late summer/early fall.

 

Here are those dates (along with ticket info) that'll be interrupting their recording:
