Long-running Chicago psych rockers The Luck of Eden Hall are getting ready to head to the UK for a round of tour dates between now and Aug. 11, playing in England, Scotland and Wales on a round of gigs ahead of finishing up their new album, The Acceleration of Time. Their most recent release is the single “The Happiness Vending Machine,” for which they made a video you can see below and which was issued back in Sept. of last year. They’ve got a new single in the works with a theme taken from and artwork by Neil Gaiman that has a Kickstarter in progress. This tour was also crowdfunded, so apparently they get some pretty good support.

The stint in the UK will be bookended by two Midwestern gigs, one in Michigan and one later in Aug. with The Psychedelic Furs in Skokie, Illinois. The PR wire keeps us all informed:

After completing a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for airfare, lodging and rentals, Chicago psych-pop group The Luck of Eden Hall has confirmed the dates for their second UK tour.

The tour, which will begin with a show at London’s 12 Bar Club on July 30 and wrap up with a headlining performance at the book release party for Dave Thompson’s A Séance at Syd’s at The Half Moon, Putney on August 11, will also touch down in Sheffield, Cardigan, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool. In addition, the band will be recording a live album for Fruits de Mer Records at MWNCI Studios, August 3-5.

Upon returning to the states, The Luck of Eden Hall will be supporting The Psychedelic Furs at Skokie’s Backlot Bash on Saturday, August 29 and will be putting the finishing touches on their upcoming album, The Acceleration of Time.
