A twenty-four-date European tour will coincide with Gold In a Brass Age, the singer’s first album in four years.
The English singer-songwriter also drops lead single and album-opener, ‘The Sapling’. The album will be released on March 8, 2019 through IHT Records/AWAL Recordings.
In a press release speaking of Gold In A Brass Age, Gray says: “With this album, my default position was to do everything differently. I didn’t think ‘this would be a good hook or ‘these lyrics could work for a chorus’. I was keen to get away from narrative. Instead of writing melodies, I looked for phrases with a natural cadence, so that the rhythm began with the words. I reimagined where a song might spring from and what form it could take.”
The new material explores electronic textures and sound palettes and is produced by Ben DeVries. The tour will kick off March 15, 2019 in Cardiff before a headlining show at Dublin's Bord Gais Theatre on April 5. He’ll also make stops in Castlebar and Belfast. The full list of tour dates can be found below.
With a career spanning more than 25 years, this will be the Grammy nominees eleventh studio album. Listen to new single 'The Sapling' here:
