“The Worst In You” by Andy Shauf from the album ‘The Party,’ available now on Anti (World Excl. Canada) and Arts & Crafts (Canada) Hope everyone is having a decent summer. I’m writing with a few updates and some tour date announcements. My new album The Party came out May 20th on ANTI- / Arts & Crafts, and I’ve been busy touring in Europe and North America with my band ever since. An understated concept album of sorts, it’s a portrait of a party narrated from several different perspectives. Sonically it’s delicious, with super dry muffled 70s drum sounds, syrupy and well-arranged clarinet & string accompaniments, and Andy’s addictingly strange vocal inflections. The lyrics and their interconnections are a world unto themselves too though, portraying humans quietly obsessed with seeking connection and self-destruction.
We also just announced a fall North American tour which will be our first proper headline tour for the record, and we’re happy to be joined by Scattered Clouds for our Western dates, and Chris Cohen in the East. We’ll also be returning to Europe this October;
