After recording a Smashing Pumpkins cover live for SPIN.com, strutting through a few career-spanning shows, and offering fans a “homemade Christmas present,” Ben Kweller has now unveiled the gift that keeps on giving: A new album. Changing Horses, Kweller’s fourth album to date, will tentatively arrive in January ’09 via ATO Records.

And what better way to get acquainted with Kweller’s Horses than with a live show? That’s right, to road test tunes in advance of the new album’s release, the Texas-bred rocker will hit the road this fall on a 24-date tour, set to kick off in Dallas Sept. 25. From there, Kweller and crew will drop in to cities across the Midwest and West Coast before leaping east and descending from Boston to Tallahassee. The tour will come full circle and conclude at the Lone Star State’s capitol of Austin Nov. 2.
