Andy Shauf has announced a new album.
'Norm' will be out on February 10 via ANTI-, following up 2020's 'The Neon Skyline' and 2021's surprise-release LP 'Wilds'. The record's narrative is focused around a character called Norm, with lyrics written around themes of good and evil.
The Canadian singer-songwriter performed every instrument on 'Norm', with Nicholas Olson as story editor and Neal Pogue mixing. "The character of Norm is introduced in a really nice way," Shauf explained in a statement. "But the closer you pay attention to the record, the more you’re going to realize that it’s sinister."
As a preview, Shauf has shared the album's opener, Wasted On You, a cheerful, electronic track with a gentle vocal melody. It comes paired with a video directed by V Haddad, featuring a cartoonish scene between God and Jesus.
He'll support the record with spring North American tour dates. Head here for details.
