LA-based genre-bender Jean Dawson has released a new single, ‘Pirate Radio’ along with a music video. Watch the visuals for the symphonic track below.
Dawson has also announced dates for his debut headline US tour, which kicks off October 16 in San Diego and runs until November 17 in Los Angeles. View the full itinerary below and pick up tickets here.
In the video for the Bon Iver-esque track, Dawson spends time with gentle deer and rough around the edges lowriders, highlighting the duality of his sound. In the ethereal track he sings, “Push my head underwater / See how long it’ll hold / Way down in the deep end / Rinse the sins from my clothes”.
‘Pirate Radio’ is the latest single from the LA artists’ upcoming album, ‘Chaos Now’ which is set to be released on October 7. The latest preview follows his single, ‘Three Heads’ which he dropped in August.
