It took nearly a decade, but the acclaimed Icelandic outfit Seabear is finally ready to embark on its very own North American headlining tour. Billed with the band’s multi-instrumentalist Sóley and Chicago band Via Tania, the Reykjavik natives will use the two week endeavor to introduce fans to their upcoming Morr Music release, We Built a Fire. The trek begins in Austin for South by Southwest and will then see the bands heading up the east coast before wrapping things up in Chicago on April 2nd.

To further add to your anticipation, Seabear has offered up an exclusive iTunes pre-release of We Built A Fire with the six bonus songs from the While The Fire Dies EP–out a full month before We Built a Fire’s official March 5th release! Click. here. now.

And if that weren’t enough, they have also released a new music video for “I’ll Build You A Fire”. You can check that one out below.
