Texan hypno-folkers Charalambides begin their musically supine yet geographically ambitious tour tonight in Spain, a tour which finds them trekking all over Europe, the northeastern U.S., and Canada.

The prolific Carter family will join up with Three Lobed raga-muffins GHQ for the North American leg of the tour, then head home to record 300 new CD-Rs in batches of five apiece. Can you imagine if Nick and Aaron Carter recorded that much?
