The Dream Syndicate have announced an autumn London show.
The American psych-rock band will close their European tour at Scala on October 21. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on March 22, priced £17.50 plus fees. Additionally, the band are on the road in North America this spring, mixing headline gigs with supporting Mott the Hoople.
Their European trek will follow the release of 'These Times', which is set to arrive on May 3 via Anti- Records, succeeding 2017's 'Did I Find Myself Here?' and marking just their second album since 1988. It was recorded with producer John Agnello at Montrose Studios in Richmond, Virginia. Discussing it, songwriter and vocalist Steve Wynn said:
"These Times. That's it. It is all we're talking about, all we’re thinking about. There is no avoiding the existential panic of a world that’s hurtling somewhere quickly, evolving, and shifting course by the hour. It seems like a lie to not address or reflect the things that we can’t stop thinking about — the whole world's watching indeed. The lyrics are just a mirror of the dread, panic, mania, speculation, melancholy and ultimately shrugging abandonment that just might follow. It's just all about where we are."

"This is our third video directed by David Dalglish, a Scotsman who is gradually becoming the official visual interpreter of our music. I love the way he captured the triple meaning of Put Some Miles On — actual road miles logged, the ensuing experience and wisdom of the turning of the calendar pages and, of course, our love of Miles Davis himself. It's truly a zig zag marathon!"
