In addition to touring with Modest Mouse, surf rockers The Japanese Motors will also release a digital-only EP titled, Perception of Reality. Though the EP title sounds like the title of a paper you wrote in Freshman Philosophy, the Japanese Motors rock -- thinking man's pop, we tell you.

The full tour dates, which begin on 2/22 in California, are listed after the jump, and the EP will be released on March 3rd. -SB
