LITTLE SCREAM SIGNS TO DINE ALONE RECORDS
NEW LP DUE LATER THIS YEAR
Montreal based multi-instrumentalist, writer, and visual artist Little ScreamΒ is more than pleased to announce her signing with Dine Alone Records in Canada and Merge Records (Arcade Fire, Caribou, Destroyer) for the rest of the world for a new LP to be released later this year. “I’m genuinely amped and honored to be working with Dine Alone,β says Laurel Sprengelmeyer (aka, Little Scream). βMy new record is a crazy beast and I can’t think of a better home for it. Me and the Dine Alone staff are gonna go shoot off some bottle rockets and drink Ten High out of dixie cups later on to celebrate.”
Long listed for the Polaris Music Prize in 2011, her debut album, The Golden Record, received a glowing 8.1 on Pitchfork, which considered it “a stellar debut…[and] a perfectly mixed bag of graceful folk, coiled pop, and expansive art rock”. NPR dubbed it “an absolutely captivating record”, including it on their Best Albums of 2011 list, and the New York Times evoked its “hints of the divine”, naming her one of the best new acts to follow at SXSW.
Little Scream toured extensively with The Golden Record, playing numerous opening and headlining performances in North America and Europe, including a tour with Sufjan Stevens that saw her play to a sold out crowd at Massey Hall as well as dates with Beirut, Jose Gonzales and Sharon Van Etten.
More details on Little Screamβs sophomore album will be announced shortly. Until then sheβll be on the road across North America on tours with Operators and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down beginning February 17. Full tour dates can be found below.
