French musician and actress Jehnny Beth has announced a UK and EU tour, including two London dates.
Savages frontwoman Jehnny Beth will launch her tour in October, shortly after the release of her upcoming album ‘You Heartbreaker, You’. She’ll perform a series of dates across central Europe before wrapping up in the UK with two London shows. The first takes place on 30 October at Electrowerkz in Angel, followed by a second at The Camden Assembly on 31 October.
This Friday, 13 June, Jehnny Beth will unveil her latest track ‘Obsession’, an intense and angsty release co-written and produced with her long-time partner and collaborator, Johnny Hostile.
She talks about the upcoming record in a statement to the press: “’Obsession’ is the first song Johnny and I wrote together for this album,” Jehnny Beth says. “The lyrics ‘you heartbreaker, you’ gave the title to the album but, more than that, the song gave the album its tone. It is probably one of the most detailed tracks on the record. The song obviously deals with the subject of primal obsession. It has this spiralling repetitive tension to the point of explosion, going from a whispered confession to a gnarly scream in the blink of an eye, which was fun to make – imagine Tricky and Jonathan Davis making a song with Adam Jones from Tool! In my head anyway.”
Jehnny Beth is also set to perform a DJ set at Glastonbury on 28 June, taking to the festival’s Shangri-La stage. She’ll then join Queens of the Stone Age as a special guest at their Rock N Roll Circus shows in Sheffield on 27 and 28 August, just ahead of her album release.
