In September, Mice Parade will embark on a North American tour in support of What It Means To Be Left-Handed due September 14 on FatCat. What It Means To Be Left-Handed marks Mice Parade's eighth full-length album and the first to be released in the band's second decade of existence and in typical Mice Parade fashion, cuts a wide stylistic swath, but Pierce's trademark stormy, intricate percussion, as well as melodic interweaving and warm, resonant vocal treatments carry throughout, stitching the pieces into a coherent whole.

The new video for Mice Parade's "In Between Times" is featured here:



Formed by the multi-tasking Adam Pierce in the late 90's, Mice Parade was originally a solo project. But while Pierce plays and sings the bulk of this latest effort, he summoned members of his globally-scattered touring outfit to bring their voices and instruments the latest recording. Joining Pierce on the road for this leg of the band's North American tour will be Caroline Lufkin (Caroline), Dan Lippel, Doug Scharin (Rex, Enablers), and Josh Larue (Played Tomorrow, Sorts).

Just added to the bills in NYC, Chicago, and Toronto: Gunnar Tynes of Mum will be bringing that group’s eclectic, wide-eyed sonic exploration to audiences with a series of rare Mum DJ sets. Opening all shows along the way will be Mice Parade's FatCat labelmates Les Shelleys, the duo of FatCat's Tom Brosseau and his vocal partner Angela Correa.
