Brooklyn-based avant-rock trio Parts & Labor - whose Mapmaker LP of earlier this year remains a favourite at the DiSopolis - are to tour the UK in October, taking in a couple of dates with fellow NYC townsfolk Battles.

The three-piece - pictured - released Mapmaker via Brah (the label owned by Oneida) back in May. Check out the DiS review here, and the video for their track 'The Gold We're Digging' here. More information available at the band's MySpace, here.
