After rumours and hints of an EP release earlier this month, this week Birds Of Tokyo have premiered their new track ¡®Anchor¡¯ from their EP with the same name. The Perth band also announced exciting news of a national tour, with tickets to be released April 24 ¨C the same day their new EP will be released.

Written and recorded in LA, front man Ian Kenney explained ¡°Some people send postcards when they¡¯re away. Others post their travel pic¡¯s on Instagram. We decided to write a few songs inspired by our time in LA and we¡¯re sending those out instead¡±.

Birds of Tokyo returned to Australia just a few months ago and plan in the upcoming months to tour the country with Melbourne-based punk singer Ecca Vandal. Starting with headline sets at Darwin¡¯s Bass in the Grass festival and Perth¡¯s State of the Art Festival, Birds of Tokyo will continue with shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney.
