After finishing a tour with MGMT, the percussion-happy Brooklynites of Yeasayer decided it would be in everyone's best interest if they suited up for another outing. We're inclined to agree with them.

The tour will be the band's first cross-country jaunt as headliners, and details of supporting acts are still forthcoming. The four-piece also revealed that it'll be heading back to the studio in early 2009 to record a follow up to that lauded debut, All Hour Cymbals. Listen for that unmistakable beat as it rolls by a town near you:
