Grouper will follow her new album Ruins with a European tour.

Uncomfortably intimate, Ruins was Grouper’s most stark album yet. Speaking to FACT, she explained that she felt embarrassed by “by how plain the emotional outpouring [and] piano melodies are”, and wouldn’t play it to friends for a long time. It’s been one of her most well-received records to date, however, ranking high on several end of year charts (including ours).

She’ll play the following dates:

April
21 – Copenhagen, Jazzhouse
23 – London, St John at Hackney (presented by St John Sessions)
25 – Krems, Donau Festival
26 – Bergen, Landmark (presented by Utmark)
29 – Gent, Vooruit

May
1 – The Hague, Rewire Festival
3 – Lison, Teatro Maria Matos  (co-presented by ZDB)
