Toronto's Anamai brings together HSY's Anna Mayberry and Egyptrixx mastermind David Psutka, resulting in a unique brand of haunting, minimalist folk music. Now, the pair are ready to take that sound on a trip out to Canada's eastern half with a string of upcoming shows.
The tour kicks off in Wakefield, QC, on July 29 with a show at the Blacksheep Inn and keeps heading east, reaching Saint John, NB, on July 31, and then Sackville, NB, for a slot at SappyFest on August 1. Following a couple more East Coast shows, the band will work their way back home — stopping in Montreal on August 6 before a pair of Toronto festival dates wrap up the summer. You can see the full list of upcoming shows below.
In addition to the tour announcement, Anamai have shared a sneak peek at a new collaborative zine they've been working on with artist Morgan Criger. It was inspired by the "textures" of the band's debut album Sallows.
"The book can serve as a standalone or accompaniment to the music," Criger explained in a statement. "It's a loose impression of the album's lyrical themes, atmosphere and the winter landscapes of Ivan Bilibin."
