Torres signs to 4AD, releases new single "Skim," announces tour
Torres is finally ready to release a followup to 2015’s Sprinter (Partisan Records), and she’s signed to 4AD for it. That makes her currently labelmates with The National, Future Islands, Deerhunter, and tons of other great artists. Congrats, Torres!
Her first single for 4AD is “Skim,” which is something different for Torres. It’s a creepy, head-nodding slow-burner, with buzzing synths meeting her trademark grungy guitar. It’s great stuff, and it’s got a very vivid video (directed by Ashley Connor) which you can watch below.
Torres, who just wrapped up a tour with Frightened Rabbit, has also announced a headlining tour of her own for the fall. The tour includes a Brooklyn show on October 27 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (6/9) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (6/7) at noon. All dates are listed below.
