Shamir will release his debut album, Ratchet, on May 19 via XL Recordings. The Las Vegas native made the record here in NYC at Silent Barn with GODMODE’s Nick Sylvester producing. That’s the cover art above and you can check out the tracklist and an illustrated statement Shamir made about the album, below.

Shamir will be at SXSW this year, playing one of Pitchfork’s parties and NPR’s official showcase, both on March 18, and other shows there. He’s got tour dates in May, too. All dates are listed, along with the video for last year’s “On the Regular” single (which is on the album), below…
