Irish electronic duo Bicep returned earlier this year with their highly acclaimed sophomore album (and first full-length in four years), Isles, released on Ninja Tune, and now they're gearing up to tour in support of it in 2022. Most of their shows are in Europe and the UK, but they have a few US dates, including LA shows at The Mayan on March 24 & 25 (tickets), San Francisco's Regency Ballroom on 3/26 (tickets), and NYC's Knockdown Center on April 1 (tickets). They're also on the bill for the LA edition of Primavera Sound, which happens in September (as well as the Barcelona edition). All dates are listed below.
Isles cracked year-end lists from Rough Trade and NME, and here's what the latter said about it:
Having made the leap from tastemaking bloggers to beloved producers in their own right, Bicep’s self-titled 2017 debut felt like a homage to the techno, house and breakbeat they’d unearthed during their travels. But the dense, fascinating ‘Isles’ saw the pair step up to neatly define and master their own sound, utilising vocalists (Clara La San, Julia Kent) to provide vivid new textures to exploit in their creations.
