"To be a rose," the first single from Jenny Hval's upcoming new album Iris Silver Mist, is among Exclaim!'s Favourite Songs of 2025 So Far. Today, she's offering a second taste of the record with "The artist is absent," shared alongside plans for a brief North American tour in September — including a pair of Canadian gigs in Vancouver and Toronto.
The artist's North American dates kick off on September 5 in Los Angeles, CA. She'll make her first venture to Canada to play Vancouver's Biltmore Cabaret on September 10 and, after crossing back over into the US for a show in Chicago, IL, she'll return for a September 15 performance at Toronto's Longboat Hall ahead of wrapping the run in Brooklyn, NY, on September 17.
Tickets go on sale Friday (April 4) at 10 a.m. local time; see the full itinerary below, where you can also hear "The artist is absent." Be sure to also check out Exclaim!'s Canadian concert listings for more upcoming shows.
