Sabrina Teitelbaum’s generated plenty of buzz leading up to the release of her self-titled debut album as Blondshell, which lands exactly a month from today through Partisan Records. Heaping more anticipation onto the pile of pre-album singles teasing the project, the band is announcing a headlining tour of Europe, the UK, and North America to commence following their stop in Austin for SXSW. While there’s no plan for a stop in Ireland, the band is already making amends with a reverent homage to The Cranberries by covering “Disappointment” just as Teitelbaum presumes Dolores O’Riordan intended it.
“I wanted to sing a song off of No Need to Argue, which is one of my favorite albums ever,” she shares. “Dolores’ voice carries so much emotion throughout the entire album, not just on the big hits like ‘Zombie,’ but on the more understated songs as well. ‘Disappointment’ hits me so hard because it feels like heartbreak disguised as apathy. I wanted to sing the song how I heard it, with the intensity of the pain behind those airy, relaxed vocals and drums.”
Find the cover and the poster for the North American leg of the tour below. You can also catch Blondshell at our SXSW showcase next week—RSVP here if you haven’t already.
