When it comes to getting reacquainted, the beginning is the hardest part. And since the Breeders announced their first tour in, like, forever almost a month ago, it's nothing for Kim Deal and co. to keep adding shows, which is just what they've done.

While most of the Breeders' previously reported dates were in the UK and Ireland, the majority of their new shows are post-Coachella North American dates.

All of these concerts are in support of the release of the Breeders' fourth album, Mountain Battles. The record comes out April 8 via 4AD (April 7 in the UK). And the cover looks pretty sweet.
