British collective Black Country, New Road will tour Australia and New Zealand next year.
The tour kicks off on Sunday, February 22nd at Perth Festival, before heading to the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday, February 24th and the Palace Foreshore in Melbourne on Thursday, February 26th. The band then plays The Tivoli in Brisbane on Saturday, February 28th, before crossing the Tasman for shows at Auckland’s Powerstation on Tuesday, March 3rd and Wellington’s Meow Nui on Wednesday, March 4th.
The run follows the release of Forever Howlong via Ninja Tune, a new chapter for the group built on shared songwriting and vocals. The record has been praised for its melodic, communal sound and has introduced the band to wider audiences.
The band’s third studio album shows how resilient and adaptable they are, with luscious melodies, fantastical lyrics and lots of recorders,” wrote The Guardian. Pitchfork described it as “an ambitious and unabashedly twee album overflowing with baroque flourishes and communal spirit.”
