Go See This Tour: Textures Celebrating the Tenth Anniversary of Polars

This one slid under the radar while I was in LA this week. But such good news must not be left unreported!

First of all, any press release that begins “With their fifth album in the works…” regarding Textures is an incredible one indeed. That could’ve been all the email said, and that’d have been enough.

But that was just the intro, almost like a blasé afterthough. The meat of the story is that Textures are celebrating the tenth anniversary of their ground-breaking debut album Polars by playing it in full on tour this fall. Listening back to Polars now, it’s remarkable how far ahead of the curve Textures were — this album predated djent by a solid four years.

Dates below. Post on their Facebook page that you want them to come back to the US, and who knows, maybe they finally will! Polars posted in full below for your listening pleasure as well.

Oh, and hey, new Textures album on the way too!
