(Reybee) Few bands experience the career longevity of The Church, much less the continued creative fire that keeps sparking year after year. Following two of the best reviewed albums in five decades of releasing music - 2023's The Hypnogogue and its companion piece, 2024's Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars, the psychedelic dream pop pioneers are returning to North America for "The Singles," an extensive tour that revisits their legacy of singles spread over their 37-album catalogue.
Kicking off on July 15th in Phoenix, AZ and circling around the continent including dates in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Chicago, New York, before winding down in Denver, CO on Aug. 16th, the four week tour celebrates their career-spanning oeuvre of tracks including "The Unguarded Moment" (from 1980's Of Skins and Heart), "Tantalized" (from 1986's Heyday), "Ripple" (from 1992's Priest=Aura), "C'est La Vie" (from 1992's The Hypnogogue), "Metropolis" (from 1990's Gold Afternoon Fix) and of course "Reptile" and "Under the Milky Way" (from 1988's international breakthrough album Starfish). Presales begin Wednesday, March 19th with tickets to the general public on March 21st at 10am local time.
Says bassist/vocalist/founder Steve Kilbey: "The Church are very much looking forward to returning to the USA and doing the singles show which we've never done before: a career retrospective spanning 45 years of tunes!"
