Wooden Shjips Reveal Tour, Deluxe Version Of 'West'

1:37 p.m. · August 2, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

Following the release of the "Black Smoke Rise" video yesterday, Wooden Shjips are back with some more news regarding their new album, West. The psych-leaning San Francisco quartet has prepped a deluxe version of the record that will come with some goodies. They include a blue vinyl pressing of West, a 7" with a new Shjips track and a remix by Peaking Lights, and a tote bag. The 7" and the tote bag won't be available by any other means, so you best get coppin' if you need to show off your love for the Shjips on the daily. The band has also scheduled some tour dates for the coming months, including a run with Birds of Avalon.
