Tourist has announced a run of UK dates & new music
TOURIST
Releases New Single
‘Elixir’
New run of UK/EU live dates added [pre-sale]
UK-based Grammy winning producer and composer Tourist(William Phillips) is releasing new single ‘Elixir’alongside a video directed and edited by Dillon Moore [watch]. Alongside this single release, Tourist is also announcing a fresh run of UK/EU dates hot on the heels of his
sophomore album ‘Everyday’which was released in February this year. Ushered in by stirring synths, ‘Elixir’is evocatively built around earnest arpeggios and warm percussive structures that are seductive, mature and very much his own.
On ‘Elixir’Tourist says: “Elixir I suppose is a reaction to my most recent album. I wanted to write from a more outward looking, sensory place. Often I make music with a firm personal narrative but with all this new music the sound is the story.”
Tourist first appeared in 2012 with his self-titled debut EP and has since gone on to release two full lengths, ‘U’(2016) and ‘Everyday’(2019) alongside several more EPs and also remaining active as a remixer, writer and producer, including winning a Grammy for co-writing the Sam Smith hit ‘Stay With Me’ and remixing artists like Christine & The Queens, Wolf Alice and Chvrches.
