A rapidly rising star of bedroom pop, American artist mxmtoon will tour Australia for the very first time in the spring, playing all-ages headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
The 'Falling For U' and 'Prom Dress' singer last week revealed details of her next studio album with 'Rising' scheduled for release 20 May."I'm so excited to be able to come to Australia this October. I've been wanting to play shows there for so long and it feels crazy that it's finally able to happen.
"I am scared of the bugs though, I heard they are really big, so I may need some help. :)"
Following the release of 'Rising' track 'Mona Lisa' last month, 'Sad Disco' is the next cut made available from the forthcoming studio album.
"I was 17 years old when I wrote my song 'Prom Dress'. Four years later, I sat and listened to it, wondering if the lyrics and ideas still resonated with my now 21-year-old self," mxmtoon says about 'Sad Disco'.
"I decided that it did, and it also didn't. I'd grown up since I wrote that song and realised I wanted to make something that felt current to my individual.
"'Sad Disco' was the resolution to that desire. A song built with the same bones that 'Prom Dress' was made from, but more reflective of the growth I've experienced in my own life since.
"It's a song meant to make you find joy in the quiet, to emulate that feeling of being alone in your bedroom, blasting music through a pair of headphones in the middle of the night.
"In a way, it feels like an answer to the girl who wrote 'Prom Dress' in the first place, serving as a reminder that she isn't stuck on the floor with tears streaming down her face forever, but that she'll grow up, and the loneliness she sometimes feels won't define her. She can still choose to dance and have her own 'Sad Disco'."
