Damien Rice has confirmed an intimate run of European and stateside tour dates this autumn, including a London show at The Palladium on November 7.
A limited number of advance tickets will be available to mailing list subscribers via www.damienrice.com. A 48-hour pre-sale window will begin on Wednesday, September 17 at 9a.m. and general on-sale will begin Friday, September 19 at 9a.m.
Rice’s upcoming album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy, is his first collection of material in eight years and was produced by Rick Rubin and Rice. Already hailed as “one of the albums of the year” (Evening Standard), Damien recently teased the record with a video clip featuring an acoustic version of the intro to the album’s title track (watch here), which Stereogum praised as “the prettiest and most properly epic-sounding piece of music he’s ever released.”
The full version of My Favourite Faded Fantasy is now available to stream via Soundcloud, and was premiered on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show, who hailed that Damien would once again be an “instrumental influence on our new generation and generations to come…eight years just evaporates into nothing. Incredible!”
The full version of My Favourite Faded Fantasy follows the seminal O, which sold two million copies worldwide, won the prestigious Shortlist Prize, spent 10 weeks on the Billboard 200, spent 80 weeks on the U.K. chart—as well as the million-selling, Brit-nominated follow-up, 9. The new album is available for pre-order now at www.damienrice.com.
