Louisa Nicklin Announces Debut Album Release Tour

A leading voice amongst a new generation of Aotearoa songwriters, Tāmaki Makaurau's Louisa Nicklin has garnered devoted fans for her haunting student radio hits ‘Water Around Her’ and ‘To Be Fine’, and live performances including a jam-packed crowd for her recent Mermgrown festival appearance. With her forthcoming self-titled debut album sure to be a local release highlight of 2021, Nicklin has announced an extensive launch tour, journeying throughout the nation in June and July, kicking off with a free in-store shore at Flying Out. Recorded with Steven Marr at Roundhead Studios over eighteen months and tackling the lockdown-relevant theme of "...peoples loneliness, my relationship to this, and my relationship to others", the new record features musical contributions from bandmates Eamon Edmundson-Wells (Pixels) and Mason Fairey (The Naenae Express, Green Grove), plus JY Lee (Avantdale Bowling Club, Yoko Zuna) and Antonia Barnett-McIntosh.

Press release:

Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Louisa Nicklin will be taking her debut, self-titled album on a tour across Aotearoa from May 2021. The self-titled album is set to be released on May 25th but has already given listeners a taste of what’s to come with her most recent singles ‘To Be Fine’ and ‘Water Around Her’.

Recorded by Steven Marr at Roundhead Studios the 9 track album is a collection of songs written over the past eighteen months. Joining Louisa on the album are local talents and bandmates Eamon Edmundson-Wells (Pixels) and Mason Fairey (The Naenae Express, Green Grove) and also features first time collaborators such as JY Lee (Avantdale Bowling Club, Yoko Zuna) and classical composer and cellist Antonia Barnett-McIntosh.

Louisa says “recording at Roundhead Studios with Steven Marr was a special experience and having Eamon Edmundson-Wells and Mason Fairey work with me to arrange the songs was great. The album explores ideas around peoples loneliness, my relationship to this, and my relationship to others.”

With the tour kicking off in May, Louisa Nicklin will be joined by her band as well as some talented locally sourced support acts. Tickets available from Banished Music.
