Beth Orton has announced a new album, The Ground Above, which will be out June 26 via Partisan. She produced it herself and it features contributions from Nick Hakim, Tom Skinner, Shahzad Ismaily, Vernon Spring’s Sam Beste, and more. She calls it “a celebration of moving out of the holding pattern fear keeps us in.”
You may have already heard The Ground Above‘s title track, which was released in March, and she’s just shared the gorgeous “Waiting,” which sonically reminds me of Destroyer’s Kaputt as it is adorned in dreamy flute and trumpet. You can listen below.
Beth has also announced a fall tour which hits NYC on September 18 at Le Poisson Rouge. Tickets for all North American dates go on sale Friday, April 24 at 10 AM local time.
