Just before their new album hits store shelves across the country, art-rockers Sigur Ros [ tickets ] have announced dates for a headlining US tour this fall.The Icelandic post-rock ensemble, which earlier this week completed a quick US outing anchored by an appearance at last weekend's Bonnaroo Festival, will launch the new run with back-to-back shows in New York City beginning Sept. 17. The group will hit 15 cities on the early autumn trek, which follows a full schedule of European dates planned for the summer.North American dates are shown below; details of the group's European plans can be found at the Sigur Ros website.Due in stores June 23, "Med Sud i Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust" (English translation: "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly") is the band's fifth studio album, and follows 2005's "Takk...," which was certified gold in the UK and sold more than 30,000 copies in the US during its first week in stores.Despite the unwieldy title, the disc is the group's first to feature a song performed in English ("All Alright.") The album was co-produced by the band with veteran producer Flood (U2, Smashing Pumpkins) and recorded in New York City; London; the band's hometown of Reykjavik, Iceland; and Havana, Cuba.Earlier this month, the band made the album free in streaming form through its website and the music community website Last.fm.Last year, the group released "Hvarf-Heim," a 2-CD compilation album containing studio versions of previously unreleased songs, and the live DVD "Heima," which documents the group's 2006 tour of Iceland.
