This marks the first set of UK/ EU dates since a sold-out tour for their eponymous second full length album ‘Father, Son, Holy Ghost’- released on Fantasytrashcan / Turnstile in September last year. This critically acclaimed record was soon followed up with a limited 7” release of ‘Lawrence’- a tribute from Girls frontman and songwriter Christopher Owens to Felt, Denim and Go Kart Mozart frontman and songwriter, Lawrence.
