Pitchfork

Those minimal, experimental Londoners in Sian Alice Group sure know how to follow a full-length. Mere months after the release of their debut album, 59.59, SAG already have plans for two EPs and a tour.

The first EP is called The Dusk Line and features contributions from only two of the band's members, Rupert Clervaux and vocalist Sian Ahern. The Social Registry will release The Dusk Line on June 17. Check out the title track over in Forkcast.

The second EP is a remix set scheduled to arrive in the fall. Collaborating with Sian Alice Group on remixes of their songs will be Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor, Atlas Sound, Gang Gang Dance's Brian DeGraw, and Spring Heel Jack.

Finally, the band has a month of tour dates in the UK, Ireland, and Japan starting April 25 in Tokyo. Their UK/Irish tour includes gigs with Spiritualized, the Black Angels, and White Magic.
