Kate Nash North American Tour

As a follow-up to her U.S. spring trek and Lilith Fair gigs, Kate Nash is returning to the states in October for a round of headline dates.

The 23-year-old English singer-songwriter is touring in support of her sophomore album, My Best Friend Is You. The indie pop album, which was released this spring, was produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and recorded at RAK studios in the U.K.

The Guardian praises My Best Friend Is You as a “substantial progression” from her award-winning 2007 debut album, writing that she is “far more daring a writer and singer.”

Pitchfork.com likes that the new album is “thrillingly schizophrenic. There’s the brash riot grrrl who shrieks expletive-strewn girl-power polemic – clearly, a new addition. But there’s also the warts’n’all diarist whose keenly observed romantic vignettes made Nash an Internet sensation in the first place. And, of course, there’s still plenty of piano-pop approachability.”
