<i>Ten Stories</i></b>, set for release on <b>May 15<sup>th</sup> </b>on the band’s own imprint
<b>Pine Street. Buried Beds</b> and <b>Imaginary Cities</b> open on all dates. Kicking off
<b>May 17<sup>th</sup></b> in <b>Washington, DC,</b> the band will be bringing their eclectic new songs and fan favorites to cities from coast to coast including
<b>Charlotte, NC,</b> <b>Nashville, TN, Dallas, TX, Omaha, NE, Minneapolis, MN, Rochester, NY and Hoboken, NJ.</b> The full list of tour dates is below.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">With 10 years as a band under their belt, it is only fitting that
<b>mewithoutYou </b>has managed to make their most expansive and dynamic album to date.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b><i>Ten Stories</i></b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>marks the return of their signature raucous vocals and hard-hitting
instrumentation while the band’s more recent ventures into folk and lush orchestration are also present.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Paramore’s
<b>Hayley Williams</b> contributes backing vocals to two songs on the album, including “Fox’s Dream of the Log Flume” and “All Circles.”
<b><i>Ten Stories</i></b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>toys with the band’s favorite themes of
</span>romantic disaster and quasi-mystical speculation, offering up<span style="color:black"> a collection of allegorical songs about a circus train crash in 19<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>century Montana. Through the fable-like
interactions of fictitious animals, the songs offer up deep ponderings about human character flaws and the circle of life. It is these ruminations on
</span>life, love, loss and spirituality <span style="color:black">for which<b> mewithoutYou</b> has become so well-loved.
<b><i>Ten Stories</i></b> is yet another gem for their catalogue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
