Islands announces new album & tour, coming to Chapel Hill

Canadian indie rock band Islands will release a new album titled A Sleep & A Forgetting on Valentine's Day, February 14. A tour will kick off in Los Angeles on the same day, which will quickly make it's way to the Triangle.

They'll play Local 506 in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, February 21. Tickets are on sale now via Etix for $9.

[UPDATE: Lost in the Trees have announced that they will play a warm-up set opening the show, so get there early, because it's probably going to be packed.]
