Jessy Lanza (CAN)
January 2016

21st January – Melbourne – Sugar Mountain Festival
22nd January – Perth – Jack Rabbit Slim’s

Astral People and Handsome Tours are proud to present Jessy Lanza’s Australian debut this coming January for Sugar Mountain Festival.

“electronic music etched with real ache.”– Sydney Morning Herald ★★★★

Made in her hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, with production partner Jeremy Greenspan from Junior Boys, Lanza’s sophomore album ‘Oh No’ is a self-assured and joyful album. Playfully laced with cascading arpeggios, crispy drum machines and breezy songs, ‘Oh No’ has an infectious energy that has been brewing in her live shows.

“a gorgeous and deadly pop music manifesto”– Pitchfork

Paradoxically ‘Oh No’ addresses Jessy’s own constant nervousness. The pressure of music making, which used to calm her nerves, has led to a whole new world of contingencies that stoke the anxiety mill. The exclamation ‘Oh No’, for Jessy, marks yet another incident of randomness interrupting her tranquillity.

“upended R&B beamed down from outer space”– NME ★★★★

Anxiety or not, ‘Oh No’ is a bold second album from Jessy and a marked step forward for her sound. Whatever you do, don’t miss her scintillating Australian live performances this summer.
