Yaeji has revealed details for her long-awaited official debut album, With A Hammer, and announced a tour. The album comes out April 7 via XL, and it features contributions from Loraine James, Nourished By Time, K Wata, and Enayet. The first single is “For Granted,” which feels like Yaeji’s version of a big pop single, but still in the experimental, off-kilter way that’s become her trademark. It’s a very promising first taste, and you can check it out and watch the self-directed video below.
Yaeji’s newly-announced tour goes down in April and May, surrounding her appearances at Coachella. She hits a variety of US and Canadian cities, before wrapping up in her NYC hometown on May 19 at Brooklyn Steel. All dates are listed below.
UPDATE: Second NYC show added for May 20 at Brooklyn Steel.
With A Hammer is up for pre-order on hot pink vinyl. Here’s a mock-up:
