Fleet Foxes, those scruffy dudes with the sparkling clean sound, have extended their previously scheduled tour to reach back around to North America this summer. The extension comes in support of the band's self-titled debut album, which comes out June 3 on Sub Pop.

And the Fleet just got a little bigger, as the band have taken on songwriter J. Tillman for drum/backup vocal duties, according to a recent MySpace blog post. Reckon those harmonies just got a little brighter, eh?

In the midst of these newfound North American dates is the Foxes' appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Their European tour ends with a run of dates with Beach House.
