Wednesday evening in Buffalo, New York, Nick Thorburn and his Islands kicked off their spring/summer tour, and Friday morning in cyberland, they've already lined up a whole lot more. Islands have affixed a good deal of new stops to their trot around North America, leading them all the way through late June.

Islands' sophomore album Arm's Way (yes, the one with the weird--and weirdly suggestive--cover art) is due May 20 from Anti-.
