"BEAUTIFUL THINGS" is now being offered in a variety of bundles alongside exclusive tickets to Green's upcoming US tour. The highly anticipated dates begin January 13th at New Haven, Connecticut's famed Toad's Place, and then continue through mid-February (see itinerary below).

"BEAUTIFUL THINGS" marks a major creative milestone for Green, best known as the lead singer for the Philadelphia-based progressive punk act Circa Survive. Co-produced by Green and Jason Cupp, "BEAUTIFUL THINGS" was recorded at The Big House in the sleepy beach town of Avalon, New Jersey, with backing - and additional production - from Green's fellow Philadelphians, Good Old War. In addition, the album sees guest appearances from such like-minded artists as Ida Maria, Lights, Maps & Atlases guitarist Dave Davison, Claire Wadsworth, Green's Circa Survive comrades Brendan Ekstrom and Colin Frangicetto, and a couple other surprises TBA.
"BEAUTIFUL THINGS" follows Green's extraordinary solo debut album, "AVALON," which received critical accolades upon its 2008 release. Among the highlights was a cover feature in Alternative Press, with "AVALON" earning a four-out-of-five starred rave lead review. "Focused and deliberate," the review stated, "It takes a certain kind of man to be as emotionally strong and mentally grounded as he is musically gifted; Anthony Green is definitely that man." Furthermore, SPIN declared "AVALON" to be "a set of idiosyncratic, deeply personal ballads."
