LENKA
SHADOWS TOUR THIS OCTOBER
Following her self-released new album Shadows on Skipalong Records, Australian’s own Lenka will finish up her world tour with a run of east coast dates this October, including home town of Sydney.
Part of Lenka’s 2013 international tour, the local dates will celebrate the release of Lenka’s critically acclaimed, captivating third album, along with the recently released remix EP Shadows Of Shadows. Featuring hype machine’s #9 pick ‘Nothing Here But Love (Twice As Nice Remix)’, the newly announced remix EP is available now on iTunes.
Shadows marks Lenka’s first collaboration with Tom Schutzinger since their days playing together in early 2000’s outfit Decoder Ring, and has been awarded countless accolades including album of the week on ABC’s DIG Music and Radio Australia.
Recorded in New York, Montreal, Toronto and Sydney, Shadows is a highly personal collection of songs, penned while Lenka was pregnant with her first child. Tracy Bonham plays violin on the celebratory ‘After the Winter’ and the in utero heartbeat of Lenka’s son can be heard on ‘Two Heartbeats,’ which is written from the perspective of an unborn child.
Shadows brings Lenka to a new place in her life and musical career, following on from the success of her first two more pop driven albums. After leaving Decoder Ring and moving to the States, Lenka released her self-titled debut album in 2008. It entered Billboard’s Heatseekers chart at #3 and contained “The Show,” a No. 1 single at radio in three countries. Whilst her sophomore offering featured another chart topping single ‘Everything at Once’ across Europe and Asia, after receiving world wide attention from its use in a global commercial for Microsoft Windows 8.
Following performances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the Late Night with Conan O’brien show, Lenka has grown into a household name in places like Asia. Sydney Morning Herald explains in their feature earlier this year…“She has more Facebook fans than Gotye (1.9 million and counting), her music has starred in Hollywood films and TV shows and she often gets mobbed at concerts. Her name is Lenka Kripac and she’s the biggest superstar Australia didn’t know it had.”
