Today, UK-based Grammy-winning producer and composer Tourist (William Phillips) is releasing ‘Kin’, the final single from his new album (and second of 2019) ‘Wild’ which is out on 18 October via Monday Records [pre-save / pre-order].
‘Kin’ is another expansive display of Tourist’s deft production; beginning with emotive piano chords, it is soon joined by sampled vocals, euphoric drums and expertly arranged synths. Spanning over 5 minutes, ‘Kin’ shows every side of Tourist’s sound and perfectly demonstrates his bittersweet, intoxicating musical sensibility.
Tourist has already unveiled album tracks ‘So’ [listen], ‘Bunny’ [listen] and ‘Elixir’ [watch the Dillon Moore directed video] and announced a fresh run of live dates hot on the heels of his sophomore album ‘Everyday’ which was released in February this year.
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.
