Mostly-instrumental Scottish rockers Mogwai [ tickets ] have lined up a new slate of North American shows as the band continues to support its latest studio release.

The group, joined on all dates by indie-rockers The Twilight Sad [ tickets ], will launch the spring outing April 20 in Houston. The 21-city trek runs through mid-May, and includes a three-night engagement (4/27-29) in Brooklyn, NY. Dates are below.

"The Hawk is Howling," which surfaced last September, is the group's follow-up to 2006's "Mr. Beast." The album reunites Mogwai with producer Andy Miller (Arab Strap, The Delgados), who worked with the band on many of its early records, including the group's highly regarded 1997 debut, "Young Team."

"It's got it all, dreamy ballads about forbidden love gone awry, one minute pointless instrumentals and even some spoken word about the future of the music industry in India," multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns wrote about the new album last month at the band's website.

Viedo and audio samples of the group's material, as well as a Mogwai podcast, can be accessed at the band's website.
