Amidst a flurry of website updates about album-titling caucuses, fan-assisted songwriting, and democratically chosen setlists, the Fiery Furnaces have found time to schedule yet another tour.

This spring/summer trek includes one-off shows with the Cool Kids and the Raconteurs, but the Friedbergers' most interesting pair-up is the addition of Kyle Hollingsworth to their band for the first six shows.

But who, you may ask, is Kyle Hollingsworth? He would be the keyboardist for jam-band journeymen the String Cheese Incident. But what, you may ask, the fuck? We knew Matthew & Eleanor had some jammy tendencies, but apparently the roots run deeper than we thought.

This news comes from a story on JamBase.com confirmed by Thrill Jockey, and we'd like to thank reader Tobias Sincere for the tip.

The Fiery Furnaces' tour begins April 18 in Wooster, Ohio, and it ends in mid-June, right before their appearance at Bonnaroo (no, the String Cheese Incident aren't playing). The duo's only date after that is a set at the Pemberton Festival in July.
