Flock of Dimes has shared two new songs, ‘Pure Love’ and ‘Time’, the latest installment of Psychic Hotline‘s singles series. Along with the single, Jenn Wasner has announced a run of headline tour dates for April and May 2022; tickets go on sale at 10am local time this Friday. Check out the new tracks and find the list of dates below.
Wasner worked on both songs with Nick Sanborn, who co-produced her 2021 album Head of Roses. “After spending so much time over the past two years sitting with my grief—both personally and creatively—I’m thrilled to offer up two songs that center joy, hopefulness, and pleasure,” she said in a statement. “What can I say about ‘Pure Love’? It’s a fun pop song about how wanting more is the cause of so much suffering! To me, overall, it’s a song about reaching for a more pure way of being–finding a way to accept our humanity and all of its failures and imperfections so that we can be at peace for a little while while we’re alive. It is also, hopefully, a lot of fun.”
Psychic Hotline, the record label founded by Sylvan Esso, previously released Uwade’s ‘Do You See the Light Around Me?’, Bartees Strange, Ohmme, and Eric Slick’s ‘Province’, Anjimile’s ‘Ever New’, and ‘Neon Blue’ by Amelia Meath and Blake Mills as part of their singles.
