Days away from releasing their fourth studio album, Back to Land, Wooden Shjips are setting sail on a North American tour that kicks off tonight in Chicago. The band will be taking a detour through Europe before landing in San Francisco on January 23 to grace The Chapel. That show is still months away, but you can get your minimal psych kicks right now over at The Guardian, where Back to Lands is streaming in its entirety before its official November 12 release date on Thrill Jockey.
Check out the full North American and European tour dates after the jump.
