D&tC are one of the many fine bands appearing on the upcoming "Reader's companion" comp and they've been getting quite a bit of great press from around the world recently. This tour will most likely be the band's last hurrah before taking a break as frontman David Fridlund begins concentrating on his solo career. Or maybe not - there's a split 7" with Elias One Man Band coming out on Let's Expect Art featuring the newish song "Let me put it this way" coming out soon. As for David's debut solo album, there's nothing definite yet, but it is supposed to be ready for release sometime before the end of the year.
