Westerman has added a new batch of tour dates behind A Jackal’s Wedding. The British singer-songwriter has also shared a song from the LP, “About Leaving,” and accompanying video directed by Bráulio Amado; check that out below, along with his full tour itinerary.
After a previously plotted string of dates along the West Coast and around Europe supporting Nation of Language, Westerman’s new headline run will take him to a handful of European cities next February, before he crosses the pond once again to play Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, and several more North American cities.
In a press release, Westerman says of the new song, “I wrote the lyrics in different places: London, America and Greece. They were always written in a fleeting way, and that became an animating principle of what kind of imagery is contained. There are different ways of looking at that, right? You can look at that from the perspective of loss, or you can look at it from the perspective of opportunity, or you can look at it from the perspective of excitement or fear. I tried to play around with all of those things in an enveloping way. I was reading The Rime of the Ancient Mariner over and over and I had an image of this person on the sea, not understanding where they’re going and not in control of anything, but unlike in the poem, finding that exciting and enjoying it for what it is.”
A Jackal’s Wedding, the follow-up to An Inbuilt Fault, arrives November 7 via Partisan.
