Connecticut-based modern pop duo Mates of State have announced their first string of U.S. tour dates. Starting on September 21, the band will kick off their tour of the East Coast in support of their newest record, Mountaintops, which was recently finished and will be released on September 13th via Barsuk Records.
Mountaintops is the band’s full-length follow up to 2008’s critically acclaimed Re-Arrange Us. The self-produced album was written and recorded over the last year-and-a-half in 6 different studios with multiple engineers.
The band has also released the first music video for a song from the new album, the ceaselessly catchy Maracas, which you can view below.
