According to Quarterstick Records, former Rodan bassist Tara Jane O'Neil will be touring the U.S. and Europe in support of her second solo full-length, In the Sun Lines, which was released on September 10th. O'Neil plays a good number of the instruments on the album, with help from notables such as Rachel Grimes (Rachel's) as well as some lesser-known friends. Trying her best to be unclassifiable, the new album is a mixture of delicate, floating melodies and an ever-present pop sensibility. "Sure," the label claims, "it takes time to sink in, but so does sunscreen." At least sunscreen prevents melanoma.

O'Neil will be joined by ex-Come frontwoman Thalia Zedek on the first leg of the trip and selected European dates, and by Pernice Brothers, Stereo Total, Momus, and K on various dates toward the end of the U.S. tour. Dates:
