Howling Bells will head out on an extensive tour of Europe in the coming months.

The Aussie band, who are now based in the UK, will join UK outfit Mercury Rev on their national tour this November.

The month long tour will see Howling Bells tour across the UK and greater Europe.

The tour will give the band a chance to road test material off their upcoming new album.

“So, we’ve been working avidly on the new record this past year. Writing songs just about everywhere, recording in LA, mixing in London, mastering any minute now,” the band said.

“Confirming some shows for the end of this year as well as building the bones of a tour for next year. Feels like a while since we’ve been in touch but we’re aching to get back on that band wagon. We’ve many new songs, sounds, stories and much, much love and music to give. Hope to see y’all real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In February this year, Howling Bells announced they were working on their new album with producer Nigel Godridge (Radiohead, Beck, AIR) and Dan Grech at LA’s Sound Factory studios.

The new album will be the group’s second album, following up to their 2006 self-titled debut.
