Andy Shauf announces new album and tour, shares "Wasted On You"
Andy Shauf has announced new album, Norm, that will be out February 10 via ANTI-. It’s a followup to 2020’s The Neon Skyline, shaped in part by early-pandemic creative exploration. On it, Andy explores light and dark, finding tension between good and evil while shaping a narrative around the character “Norm.” For this task, Andy tapped Nicholas Olson as story editor and Neal Pogue to mix the synth-heavy record. Andy says, “The character of Norm is introduced in a really nice way. But the closer you pay attention to the record, the more you’re going to realize that it’s sinister.”
The first glimpse at Norm is album opener “Wasted On You,” an electronically lilting track with a gentle but profound vocal melody. The song comes with a playful music video directed by V Haddad, featuring a cartoonish dialogue between God and Jesus (and a cameo by Andy as a sort of angel janitor). Watch “Wasted On You,” and check out the album art and track list for Norm, below.
Andy Shauf has also announced a sprawling North American tour supporting Norm. He’ll hit NYC on April 20 at Brooklyn Steel. Tickets Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday (11/18) at 10 AM local time. Check out his tour schedule below.
