The Slackers, in Canada on tour right now, with a couple of US dates to follow, has announced that their 2002 album Close My Eyes will be re-released this summer via Pirates Press Records.
The band has a deep catalog at this point, with New York City as a common denominator through it all. Close My Eyes, it's noted, is the band's first studio LP after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the city, which adds perspective to the album both then and now. it has been out of print since shortly after its first pressing. Pre-orders will open on July 5 with the release itself coming on Sept. 6.
Catch the band on tour in Europe later this year.
