Chris Garneau

This year, Chris Garneau embarks on a world tour with the first full-band performances in support of his new album, Yours. We last heard from the enigmatic singer-songwriter on his 2013 release Winter Games, a deeply personal and nostalgic work written from the frozen pastures and decaying crops of a farm in upstate New York. (Since then, he’s decamped to warmer pastures in Los Angeles.) Yours is his most realized work to date—we see an artist grappling the reins and forcing us into his line of sight with the urgency of an active volcano. Produced in Lyon with Maxime Vavasseur and Benoit Bel, the album's varied tones reflect Garneau's nomadism, expanding his hushed folk with the resonance of psychedelia-fused dream pop; with a sound that is at once rich and gauzy, the album is a stunning collection of songs from a distinctive artist at the peak of his creative forces. Yours is out this September.
