Said the Whale confirm their new studio album, hawaiii (yes, with three ‘i’s), will be released on September 17th, 2013, followed by a forthcoming tour of Canada and U.S. dates.
The signature sun-kissed, hook-heavy harmonies Said The Whale are known for prevail over hawaiii’s tracklisting, but alongside a notable sense of darker subject matter and self-reflection. The band kick off a run of stops this month and next, headlining such Canadian music festivals as: Ness Creek, Hillside and Hamilton’s Supercrawl. The full run of shows follows below.
