Haken have announced that they will be launching their North American Fauna Expedition next spring in support of their forthcoming studio album.

The new album, the band's seventh studio effort, will be entitled "Fauna", and the band gave fans their first taste of the effort with the release of a music video for the first single, "The Alphabet Of Me", earlier this week.

Arch Echo will be supporting Haken on the tour that is set to kick off on May 3rd in Nashville, TN and will be wrapping up on June 3rd in Chicago, IL at the Concord Music Hall.

The band shared, "We had such a great time in North America earlier this year, and can't wait to return for a headline tour with our new album - Fauna!"

Ross Jennings had this to say about the new album, "The premise of the album when we started writing it was that every song would have an animal assigned to it.

"They all have something related to the animal kingdom that we could write about, but they also connect to the human world. Each track has layers, and some of them are more obvious than others."

Richard Henshall added, "It reminds me of 'The Mountain'. There, we had the idea of not really a narrative-based album, but more the concept of climbing a mountain and overcoming the obstacles along the way. Then we took that and thought about how it could relate to our everyday lives. All of Fauna's animals relate to us, personally." Watch the video and see the tour dates below:
