Fresh off the release of her Loma Vista Recordings debut LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW, Ecca Vandal has announced a North American headline tour in support of the album. Kicking off September 29 at Los Angeles’ Teragram Ballroom, the 10-date run hits San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Toronto, New York, Boston, Washington DC, and Atlanta, wrapping October 24 at The Masquerade. Tickets go on sale this Friday May 29 at 10am local time — more info here. The tour caps a relentless year for Vandal that’s included her Coachella debut, an Australia/New Zealand run supporting Deftones, and a packed UK/EU summer / fall of headline and festival dates.

Anchored in punk, LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW sees Vandal reveling in her full creative powers — polyglot influences from bhangra to hardcore to alt hip hop, held tight by pure punk heart. “I find empowerment in being loud and noisy,” Vandal says, “especially as a woman in this global moment who grew up in a culture that told me I could not be those things.”

Recorded and produced by Richie Buxton and Ecca Vandal in Buxton’s childhood bedroom, LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW was the product of nearly two years of deliberate disconnection. “We cut out everything that didn’t serve us — the timelines, the metrics, the pressure to ‘stay visible’ online,” Vandal says. “We tuned out of the feed and turned inwards. In Richie’s childhood bedroom, we built a tiny home studio, four walls that became a universe. The internet was painfully slow, so we were truly disconnected from the online game… that little room became our whole world for nearly two years. It held all our chaos and all our clarity, a little ‘playpen’ where we could live, play and experiment like teenagers again. We wanted to celebrate long-form, the idea of an album as a whole body of work, while the world was chasing 15-second snippets and algorithm-friendly noise.”
