Seefeel cancels June tour; will we ever see them on this side of the ocean?

Last October, we announced that Seefeel, the London electronic-semi-shoegaze-wtf-post-rock-pop band, were planning to release an album for the first time since 1996. In January, Seefeel came out on Warp, and this summer the group was all set to begin a brief tour in America — for the first time ever. If you live in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, or New York, prepare to be disappointed: the tour’s been cancelled.

That’s right: no free show with Cave in Chicago’s Millennium Park, no appearance at the Brooklyn Bowl. Their official statement is as follows (best read with bleeps and bloops added):

Seefeel and Warp are extremely saddened to announce the cancellation of Seefeel’s US tour. Bureaucratic hoop-jumping beyond the band’s control is unfortunately to blame, and the fans will have to suffer for it. Again, we’re so very sorry to disappoint you all with this news and hopefully fans can bear with the band a while longer before the US tour (which they very much want to happen) can occur without any snags.

Bummer, man.
