Sharon Van Etten returned earlier this month with the announcement of her fifth full-length album and first in over 4 years, Remind Me Tomorrow, out January 18th on Jagjaguwar, and new single,“Comeback Kid.” Following the album announcement, Van Etten also made her return to the stage, giving “one of the weekend’s most stunning sets . . . a first live taste of her expansive new sound on Remind Me Tomorrow” (Rolling Stone) at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, followed by Red Rocks, and Treasure Island Music Festival. Today, she announces her 2019 world tour featuring performances at the Beacon Theater in New York, Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, The Fillmore in San Francisco, Thalia Hall in Chicago, 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., London Roundhouse and beyond. Nilüfer Yanya will support on all North American dates and Fred Armisenwill be a special guest for the New York show. All dates are below and tickets are on sale this Friday atsharonvanetten.com.
In addition to garnering a great deal of media and fan attention from around the world for “Comeback Kid,” the “rousing, serrated anthem” (NPR Music) was the #1 most added at AAA radio in its first week, the lead in the New York Times’ “Playlist” and a top 10 New Music Friday pick (it was featured in 23 New Music Fridays, globally).
Written while pregnant, going to school for psychology, and after taking The OA audition, Remind Me Tomorrow was written in stolen time: in scraps of hours wedged between myriad endeavors — Van Etten guest-starred in The OA, and brought her music onstage in David Lynch’s revival of Twin Peaks. Off-screen, she wrote her first score for Katherine Dieckmann’s movie Strange Weather and the closing title song for Tig Notaro’s show, Tig. The breadth of her passions (musical, emotional, otherwise), of new careers and projects and lifelong roles, have inflected this album with a wise sense of a warped-time perspective. It reckons with the life that gets lived when you put off the small and inevitable maintenance in favor of something more present.
