Beth Orton announces album, tour dates
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 July 2012
Beth Orton has just announced the release her first LP since 2006’s ‘Comfort Of Strangers’ in new record ‘Sugaring Season’. Out via Anti- Records on 1 Oct, it finds Orton trialling a more acoustic sound than you might expect.
Says Beth: “I stretched myself as a singer on this record and used voices I never have before as a writer. A lot of the writing on this record happened in the dead of night, when spiders mend their webs, with an infant asleep in the next room… as a result, my writing became a secret again: illicit and my own”.
Beth has also detailed a fifteen date live outing, whose listings are as follows:
25 Nov: Leamington Spa, Assembly Rooms
26 Nov: Birmingham, Glee Club
27 Nov: Sheffield, Memorial Hall
29 Nov: Ashford, St Mary’s Church
30 Nov: Brighton, St Georges Church
2 Dec: Norwich, Arts Centre
3 Dec: Milton Keynes, The Stables
5 Dec: London, Union Chapel
