English singer/songwriter Beth Orton has confirmed a run of headline US tour dates in support of her acclaimed first album in six years and Partisan Records debut, Weather Alive (out now). Full routing below and here, tickets go on sale today (July 18) at noon local time.
Orton self-produced the entirety of Weather Alive from her home studio in London, laying the foundations of the songs on an upright piano installed in a shed in her garden. Across eight tracks, Weather Alive hosts an incredible group of collaborators, including jazz poet Alabaster dePlume, The Smile drummer Tom Skinner, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily and Mercury Prize nominated bassist Tom Herbert of The Invisible. The musicians locked naturally into Orton’s sensibilities, expanding the new sonic world she created with vulnerability and adding nuanced emotional color to the music.
