Vagabon (aka Lætitia Tamko) has shared “Water Me Down,” the latest from her self-titled sophomore album, due October 18 via Nonesuch Records. Vagabon is available for pre-order now, and Nonesuch Store pre-orders include an exclusive print autographed by Tamko.
Of the song, Tamko says “I wrote ‘Water Me Down’ in a stream of consciousness way in the few minutes following a frustrating phone call with someone. Coincidentally, I was at my friend Eric Litmann’s house who has a recording setup in his bedroom. I sat on his bed on a winter NYC night with a standard 58 mic up close to my face, and laid down the bulk of this song that night. We then went in and collaborated on the different textures… I tackled drums, arrangement, melodies and production. Eric played the synths and handled co-production. My intention with ‘Water Me Down’ was to create a playground in which to explore difficult feelings with confidence, triumph and foresight.”
Additionally, Vagabon announced a fall tour that includes headlining shows in New York, Los Angeles, London, Brussels, Berlin and Paris and a run supporting Angel Olsen.
