Piggietails are coming to the U.S. Not on tour, but on mpls ltd, the label. Spoilsport Records (Naarm/Melbourne, Australia) and mpls ltd are teaming up for a limited LP release of this excellent debut. The Spoilsport Bandcamp page mentions Yo La Tengo/jumble pop as inspiration. I would say it's a great combo of Richard Davies/The Moles with Aussie dolewave.
While you're at mpls ltd, check out their 12" reissue of The Perfect Garden - a late 1980s/early 1990s Dunedin, New Zealand band inspired by "the sound of the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Primitives, the Shop Assistants and Loop." They wanted to do something different from the Flying Nun sound and they did. But there is still Flying Nun in their DNA - they proudly played shows with The Bats and The 3Ds. This was originally released on CD through Failsafe Records.
