Jockstrap announce debut album & tour, share "Glasgow" video
UK duo Jockstrap (Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye) have announced their debut album, I Love You Jennifer B, which will be out September 9 via Rough Trade. Preorder it on Indie Exclusive green vinyl. “I Love You Jennifer B is a collection of Jockstrap tracks that have been 3 years in the making,” say the group. “Everything on it is pretty singular sounding so we hope there is a track on there for everyone and something that speaks to you and says ‘I’m a banger.’”
The album includes singles “50/50” and “Concrete Over Water” and they’ve just shared a new single, the soaring, acoustic guitar-driven “Glasgow” and a video which they directed themselves. “‘Glasgow’ is our coming of age, moving forward, long-distance, travelling, beautiful bosk, wonderful thicket song,” said Taylor, with Georgia adding, “Glasgow is a great city, perhaps my favourite in the UK. Only downside is that it’s so damn cold all the time.” Watch the video below.
Jockstrap have also announced their first North American tour which starts November 17 in Washington, DC and concludes December 7 in Los Angeles. The NYC date is November 19 at the Sultan Room. Tickets for the whole tour go on sale Friday, June 17 at 10 AM local time and all dates are listed below.
