Hey, kid, d'ya like sweaty Canadians in pink slacks and suspenders? D'ya like cute boys with a pension for fanciful fashion, bubblegum-psych, mythical creatures and acid-doowop? D'ya like reading the constant barrage of "Hey, The Unicorns are touring again" stories we at The Fork throw your way? Well, if you answered yes to at least one of the preceding questions, you might consider reading this chunk of glorious information:

It's really no shock that Neil Diamonds and Alden Ginger are back on the road, hocking the ghost-obsessed anthems and lo-fi crackpop of their full-length debut, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? Hell, they've been touring almost constantly since the album's release SEVEN MONTHS AGO. Unfortunately, though, these dates happen to already be underway, so I can't do that whole, "the tour kicks off in this town and blah blah blah ends in this town, stringing together a whopping blah blah blah" thing. However, I can do this: Hey, The Unicorns are touring again! Dates:

In related 'Corns news, the band will be unveiling an EP via Suicide Squeeze on May 18th. Entitled 2014, the release is a beefed up, CD-ified version of the seven-inch they dropped on the label at the turn of the year, with two brand spankin' new nuggets of wide-eyed myth-pop and weird cover art with a pumpkin-in-a-tree-with-a-rainbow-bleeding-tears-or-maybe-just-crying on it. Tracklist:

01 The Unicorns: 2014
02 Emasculate The Masculine
03 Evacuate The Vacuous
04 The Unicorns: 2014
