Acclaimed alt pop duo, joan have announced a 20-date U.S. headlining tour in support of their highly anticipated debut album, superglue, out April 19th via Photo Finish Records. Kicking off in Atlanta on May 13th, the upcoming run will take the duo across the country before concluding in their hometown of Little Rock on June 16th. Tickets can be found HERE and all dates are listed below.
In addition to the announcement, joan have also released their new single, “nervous“, alongside a new music video. The song takes listeners back to their own memories on the school yard experiencing their first crush. This kind of infatuation stirs a myriad of intense emotions and with “nervous”, the duo brilliantly depicts that thrilling yet unsettling feeling of intoxication. The emotional and nostalgic single entices with honey-dipped vocals over a unique kaleidoscope of sounds including beatboxing, clapping and wistful acoustic guitars. The accompanying video showcases joan singing against radiant light-filled hues of neon pink, blue and green.
Discussing the song, the band said, “we wrote this song with the lovely Emily Falvey of Nashville and Jonathan Capeci from Nightly, and the second we all walked into the room together there was immediate chemistry between us. We wanted to get as close to the emotion of a sort of school like love story, where you constantly want to be around them but you also literally feel like you’re going to throw up because you’re so… nervous (wink), and you don’t want to say the wrong thing around them. it’s such a cool and distinct feeling, we hope this song takes you back to that place.”
