Tomberlin

Tomberlin announces her new album,i don’t know who needs to hear this…, out April 29th via Saddle Creek. To mark the occasion she has shared a video for the album’s lead single “happy accident.” The album is available for pre-order in a number of exclusive variants.

“‘happy accident’ is a song about relational obscurity. Trying to sort out who you are or who you were to someone,” says Sarah Beth Tomberlin of the song. “Is this relationship romantic or is it just sex? Do you want to spend time with me or are you just bored? Do I make my own decisions that are good for me or are my decisions predominantly based on what I think you might want or need? I was kind of walking through moments in previous relationships in my life. I wanna know why someone wants to fuck with me. Do you want to know me or just your idea of me? Do I want to know you or just my idea of you?”

The song features Cass McCombs on guitar, Felix Walworth on drums and Philip Weinrobe, who also co-produced the album, on bass.

Last month, Tomberlin shared a taste of the album, releasing “idkwntht,” which Nylon called “a quiet revelation, full of wise one-liners.” UPROXXsaid the track “hits all the right spots like a salve,” with The FADER saying “each line [is] written like it is gently tracing the outline of some healing scar.”

Additionally, Tomberlin announces spring US and EU tours. The solo EU tour kicks off April 20th and the full band US tour starts May 13th with support from Jana Horn. All dates below.
