Indigo De Souza expands her 2022 tour to include a fall headline run. Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale 4/15 at 10 am local time, with Spotify presale on 4/13 at 10 am local time. All dates below. 

Along with the tour expansion announcement De Souza has also shared a live video of Any Shape You Take stand-out “Real Pain,” directed by Andrew Anderson. The video was filmed at Drop of Sun studios in Asheville, NC, where she worked on the recording of Any Shape You Take. It was engineered and mixed by Alex Farrar who also engineered and mixed the album.

“Real Pain,” one of the most experimental tracks on the record, is Indigo’s attempt to make that phenomena more intentionally collaborative. Starting soft before dropping down into a cavernous pit of layered screams and cries, “Real Pain” collages the voices of strangers—audio bites Indigo received after posting online asking for “screams, yells and anything else.” “Hearing these voices join together and move with my own was really powerful. The whole record was a release for me. And I hope it can be that for others.”

Faithful to its name,  Any Shape You Take changes form to match the tenor of each story it tells. “The album title is a nod to the many shapes I take musically. I don’t feel that I fully embody any particular genre—all of the music just comes from the universe that is my ever-shifting brain/heart/world,” says Indigo. This sonic range is unified by Indigo’s strikingly confessional and effortless approach to songwriting, a signature first introduced in her debut, self-released LP, I Love My Mom. Written in quick succession, Indigo sees these two records as companion pieces, both distinct but in communion with each other: “Many of the songs on these two records came from the same season in my life and a certain version of myself which I feel much further from now.” 

Throughout Any Shape You Take, Indigo reflects on her relationships as she reckons with a deeper need to redefine how to fully inhabit spaces of love and connection.“It feels so important for me to see people through change. To accept people for the many shapes they take, whether those shapes fit into your life or not. This album is a reflection of that. I have undergone so much change in my life and I am so deeply grateful to the people who have seen me through it without judgment and without attachment to skins I’m shifting out of.”

Any Shape You Take, out now on Saddle Creek, was released last year to wide critical praise.
