Seattle’s The Lonely Forest have announced a Spring tour with the Joy Formidable. The tour is in support of the group’s debut album due out March 22 on Chris Walla‘s Trans Records. 
Prior to the tour, the band is stopping at SXSW. Their record, Arrows, comes out March 24 and then the tour kicks off in North Carolina on March 24. The band has already garned acclaim for their self-titled digital EP.
“…guitar-heavy alt-rock ballads with all the intensity of, say, REM or Band of Horses, but without the mopey feeling you’re left with afterward.”—NYLON
The Lonely Forest will embark on an extensive North American tour supporting The Joy Formidable—including a stop at South By Southwest—beginning March 24 in North Carolina (please see below for list of dates). Continuing their steady climb to prominence from modest Northwest roots, the band unveils its Trans Records label debut Arrows, also on March 22. The album release follows a year filled with recording, touring and the release of the band’s eponymous digital-only EP.
