Alt-country artist Josh Ritter has announced details of an April tour of the UK and Ireland, which includes two nights at London’s Scala venue. A new EP entitled ‘To the Yet Unknowing World’ will be available at the dates. The EP features six previously-unreleased tracks, which were recorded during sessions for his sixth album ‘So Runs the World Away’. The album was released last May to largely positive reviews in the press.
Speaking about ‘So Runs the World Away’, Ritter said: “It’s a record preoccupied with the extremes of scale, from infinitesimal particles to the nearly incomprehensible distances between the head of a pin and a nebula. Where the songs felt large to me, I wanted them to be huge, both musically and lyrically. I wanted them to feel like the steel hulls of massive ships sliding by deeply from below. Where they were small, I concentrated in on the smallest details that I could and we tried to make the music and the words work together. I love writing, and this was the most fulfilling record I’ve yet written.”
’To The Yet Unknowing World’ Tracklisting:
1. Galahad (Studio B-side)
2. Tokyo! (Studio B-side)
3. Wild Goose (for Rainn Wilson's book SoulPancake)
4. Lantern (acoustic Josh and Sam demo)
5. The Remnant (Wallpaper remix)
6. Rattling Locks (Hesta Prynn remix)
