New Places + New Faces Pt. 1: Winter Tour 2011 + "Fra Le Nuvole"

It is with great excitement that we announce both the first batch of Woodpigeon 2011 Solo Tour dates (with many more to follow) and a new UK/Europe-only rarities collection pulling together the Spirehouse and Our Love is as Tall as the Calgary Tower EPs: Fra le Nuvole. The songs of Fra le Nuvole were recorded in part at home in Calgary (featuring LoveACT’s Darcy McIntyre), and with dear WP comrade Hampus Norén in Stockholm, while the remixes were assembled in Montreal, Quebec and Doha, Qatar. Fra le Nuvole‘s artwork is by Turin, Italy’s elyron design team, and the collection will be available from on-line retailers from 17 January 2011, with tracklist as follows:

01. Spirehouse (From Die Stadt Muzikanten)
02. Our Love is as Tall as the Calgary Tower (From Die Stadt Muzikanten)
03. Music for the Naturally Unhip [w/ Hampus Norén]
04. Don’t Fret, My Pet
05. Toil [w/ Darcy McIntyre]
06. No Cigarettes [Withered Hand cover]
07. Hove Beach
08. Spirehouse (Shipshapen Remix)
09. Empty-Hall Sing-Along (Dead Edits Remix)
10. Our Love is as Tall as the Calgary Tower (Montag Remix)
