Announces Intimate Solo Performance in New York City on May 4th

New Album Await Barbarians to be released on June 17th

[AlexisTaylorInvite]

Alexis Taylor is performing a special free solo show in New York City on Sunday, May 4th.  The intimate event will take place at Manhattan Inn at 4:30pm where Taylor will debut tracks from his upcoming album Await Barbarians (Domino) - out on June 17th.

Possessing the same immediacy as his music with Hot Chip and the adventurousness of his work with About Group, there is a special intimacy to the lyrics of Alexis Taylor’s Await Barbarians, a simplicity and candour in his expression of emotion, though the moments of honesty are matched with a sense of humour, playfulness and fun.

PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCKgYfMVSaI> to watch a video for the album track “Elvis Has Left The Building”.
Await Barbarians is a record whose warm tones draw you in, whose sequencing asks of the listener an uninterrupted session of close listening, and whose sound world reminds us of the pleasures of all that is quiet in music. It is rich in deep insight and profound feeling, a truly significant album by one of the country’s most continually arresting musicians.

Await Barbarians will be available on CD, standard LP and Digital. Copies of the LP purchased through Dom Mart or indie retailers will include a bonus 7” featuring the tracks I Hope (a Bobby Charles cover), b/w Song Of Long.

In addition, Taylor will be part of the all-star line-up in ATOMIC BOMB! The Music of William Onyeabor, which is a series of performances honouring Nigerian Synth-Funk artists William Onyeabor.  The lineup includes David Byrne, Kele Okereke (Bloc Party), Luke Jenner, Pat Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem), Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) The Lijadu Sisters, Money Mark, Joshua Redman  and Sinkane.
