Composer Yann Tiersen was supposed to tour last fall in support of his latest album, Kerber, but dates got postponed due to the pandemic. Those have been rescheduled and now the tour starts June 7 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles and wraps up in Washington DC on June 25 at 9:30 Club. The NYC show is at Brooklyn Steel on June 24. All dates are listed below.
Released by Mute in August, Kerber is Tiersen's most overtly electronic work to date. "You may get this intuitive thinking of, ‘oh it's piano stuff,’ but actually it's not," he says. "I worked on piano tracks to begin with but that's not the core of it, they are not important. The context is the most important thing - the piano was a precursor to create something for the electronics to work around.” It's gorgeous stuff and you can listen below.
Yann also gave us his Top 10 albums of 2021, which include ambient, avant garde composers, electronic music and more. There's lots to discover, check out Yann's list below.
