Portland’s beloved electroacoustic duo Talkdemonic have announced a string of US tour dates that will see them supporting recent breakout stars The National, as well as headlining their own shows for the latter part of the tour. Talkdemonic is currently hard at work on the follow-up to acclaimed 2006 release Beat Romantic (both for the Arena Rock Recording Company), and will be performing some of their new material throughout these dates. The band has also formally announced their recent signing to One Little Indian subsidiary Tangled Up Recordings, who will be releasing Beat Romantic for the first time in the UK on August 13th. The UK version of Beat Romantic has been expanded to include the new video for “Mountain Cats” (see link below) and a cover of Brian Eno’s “Sombre Reptiles.” Talkdemonic has recently toured in support of The Walkmen, Quasi, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
