Savannah, GA’s KYLESA have announced a string of East Coast shows which will also bring the band to parts of the southern US, including a handful of headlining dates and 11 shows with Pinback. These shows are the first for Kylesa since taking part in a co-headlining tour with Germany’s The Ocean earlier this summer, and will be the band’s first after leaving The Jam Room Studio in South Carolina, where they are currently holed up recording the follow-up to the band’s third full-length, Time Will Fuse Its Worth, which saw a fall 2006 release through Prosthetic Records.

“We've been writing a new record over the past few months,” the band wrote on its blog. “We're excited to record a new album since it's been two years since we recorded Time Will Fuse its Worth. It's hard to believe it's been that long! The CD will be released on Prosthetic in early ‘09 and the vinyl version will come out around the same time. Phillip [Cope, guitarist/vocalist] will be producing the record.” Expect several in-studio updates from the band in the meantime.

Kylesa has also made tentative plans to tour Japan for the first time upon release of the Japanese edition of ‘Time Will Fuse Its Worth,’ which will be handled by Red Cobalt Industries. Featuring completely redesigned artwork by guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants and an exclusive poster and sticker, production on that will begin soon and more details will be available shortly, including release details and overseas tour dates.
