Landlady Extends North American Tour Featuring Dates with Sylvan Esso, Man Man & Rubblebucket

Landlady joins a lineage of New York City art-rock bands that transmute
existential questions and primal fears into exultant songs, bands like
Talking HeadsTV on the Radio and Dirty Projectors.” – The New York Times
 
“Tuneful and wry and melodic and ambitious…gesturing
towards rafters that only they see” – Pitchfork
“Adam Schatz, the chief songwriter of Landlady, is arguably one of the
most versatile and exciting musicians in recent years” – Paste

Today, Landlady is extending its upcoming North American tour in support of its newest effortUpright Behavior. The tour, which features extensive runs with Man Man and Rubblebucketand has now been bolstered by additional dates across the US, will be kicked off in the band’s hometown of Brooklyn at Death By Audio on August 5th. Additionally, the tour features an already sold-out date at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade on September 11th with Sylvan Esso, whose track “Hey Mami” was recently remixed by Landlady.
Since its Hometapes release this month, Upright Behavior has been met with widespread and resounding praise, and is currently climbing the CMJ charts, hitting a new high at #15 this week. In its recent review of the album, Pitchfork zeroed in on what makes Landlady so special, noting that “Landlady move through their second record Upright Behavior like the USS Sincerity, offering to share with you in your biggest fears: death, loneliness, lack of purpose.” Paste praised the record, saying “There’s not only a powerful focus on every track being sonically rich and diverse, but Schatz’ lyricism is as vibrant and captivating as the grandiose arrangements.” The New York Times noted that “there’s erudition and ingenuity in Landlady’s music.” KCRW observed that the tracks on Upright Behavior “satisfy one of the basic tenets of Great Songs: they rarely end up in the same place where they began.” Stereogum lauded the album’s centerpiece, saying “there are so many moving parts on ‘The Globe,’ but they come together to make one big, beautiful whole.”Consequence of Sound singled out “Girl,” noting it as “strewn with sporadic spells of glam rock theatrics and off-kilter experimental pop à la Dirty Projectors…unpredictable and jarring in the best possible way.” I Guess I’m Floating summarized the band aptly, saying “Landlady strikes a chord as the everyman’s gospel; secularly spirit-rousing but no less powerful, articulate in vision but universal in its delivery.”
