All Tomorrow's Parties is staging a two-day I'll Be Your Mirror festival in Tokyo on April 14 and 15. Day one will be curated by ATP themselves, and day two's line-up will be assembled by Jim O'Rourke.

As part of O'Rourke's contributions, he'll recreate his classic 1999 LP, Eureka, in its entirety. With a twelve-piece band. Shinji Aoyama undoubtedly approves.

The rest of the festivities, thus far announced, include O'Rourke's picks of Michel Rother performing music by Neu! and Harmonia, plus Australian improv minimalists The Necks and eternal provocateurs Borbetomagus, who'll play on the Sunday.

On Saturday April 14, ATP's assembled the the recently reunited Codeine, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Magic Band, the Drones, Factory Floor, and Nisennenmondai.

More details at the ATP website.

The Shins' Port of Morrow, their first album in five years, is one of the most awaited albums of the year. With its March 20 release date looming ever closer, James Mercer and co have announced a fresh slate of tour dates.

The band, these days, includes Richard Swift on keys, Jessica Dobson of Deep Sea Diver on guitar, Yuuki Matthews ex-Crystal Skulls on bass, and Modest Mouse/Mister Heavenly drummer Joe Plummer behind the kit. They'll be playing through the US, with stops at Coachella and Sasquatch! on the slate.

If you haven't listened to Real Estate's "Green Aisles" today, just go ahead and do it. It'll make you feel better. Sure, listening to it in the height of summer/depths of winter would kill that whole mystical autumnal vibe both band and listeners recognize, but, good lord, what a jam! What jangle! What melancholy nostalgia for days/nights past!

"Green Aisles" was the best song on their second record Days, but the reason it was one of the the best LPs of 2011 was because of how seamlessly the whole thing hung together as an album. So, y'know, if you're going to listen to "Green Aisles," just give the whole thing a spin.

In other news: Real Estate are still touring behind Days. Touring far away lands —Turkey! Belgium! New Zealand!— and, now, their homeland. The New Jersey outfit have announced a run of shows through the American spring. Where support will come, on almost all of them, from Australian indie-pop romantics Twerps. That's, my friends, one night of quality, quality jangle.

At the top of the bill loom Grammy-approved beard-folk super-duperstars Bon Iver, newly-solo Third Man mogul Jack White, and everyone's favorite song-and-dance Scientologist, Beck.

For some extra PNW flavor, the liveshow version of the indie-celebrity-festooned sketch-comedy series Portlandia will hit the Sasquatch! stage. And series heroine Carrie Brownstein will also perform a high-profile set with her pretty-awesome-really rockband Wild Flag.

Elsewhere on the bill? Try: The Shins, Blitzen Trapper, Beirut, The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Cass McCombs, M. Ward, Feist, Metric, The Joy Formidable, St. Vincent, Tune-Yards, Purity Ring, Zola Jesus, Active Child, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Little Dragon, SBTRKT, STRFKR, Grouplove, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Spiritualized, Mark Lanegan Band, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, the Cave Singers, Shearwater, Gardens and Villa, Here We Go Magic, Dum Dum Girls, Craft Spells, I Break Horses, Lord Huron, Yellow Ostrich, and more and more and more.

Sasquatch! arrives, as always, for Memorial Day Weekend; taking over the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington from May 25-28. All manner of details at the Sasquatch! website.
