New York City-based band HAERTS release their highly anticipated self-titled debut album today, October 27. The New York Times' T: Magazine calls it “a breezy pop album with an intelligent edge...what really sets the band’s sound apart is the German-born front woman Nini Fabi’s powerful voice — which might bring Stevie Nicks’s to mind — along with earworm melodies and richly layered lyrics.” Highlighted by lead single “Giving Up,” the album is available to stream/post today via Spotify (embed code below): http://open.spotify.com/album/0AzzkKWd53eUoJOl4gl7Ns. Haerts is available here: http://smarturl.it/haertsitunes.
To celebrate the album’s release, HAERTS has also announced their forthcoming co-headline tour alongside Mikky Ekko. Dates kick off November 29 in Chicago and continue through December20 in Minneapolis. HAERTS will also join St. Lucia for dates at New York City’s Terminal 5, Philadelphia’s Theatre of the Living Arts, and Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club later next month. See below for all dates.
The album’s artwork, featuring lead singer Nini Fabi (above), was shot by world renowned photographer Albert Watson, known for his countless covers with VOGUE andRolling Stone, and features flowers by up-and-coming floral designer Brittany Asch ofBRRCH, whose work has recently been featured in VOGUE, Lucky, NYLON, andStyle.com.
With the release of their buzzed about EP Hemiplegia last fall, HAERTS has quickly won over fans and garnered fantastic critical praise. Time Out New York named the group one of their “Rising New York City Bands You Need To Know.” In January, the band sold out their first-ever hometown headline show at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tastemaker KEXP in Seattle helped launch the new single “Giving Up” with major support, while in the coming weeks, the band will appear on NPR’s World Café. And this year alone, HAERTS has performed at SXSW, Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Austin City Limits, Firefly, Bunbury and Time festivals, in addition to touring with London Grammar and Bastille.
HAERTS is Nini Fabi, Ben Gebert, Garrett Ienner and Derek McWilliams.
