“I very much believe in going with your instincts. … It’s very exciting because you don’t know where you’re going to end up.”

Obel’s routing has her kicking things off with four nights in Canada, starting with Montreal High Lights Festival in Montreal, Quebec, Feb. 28. From there she has a couple shows in most regions, eventually closing things out in Ann Arbor, Mich., March 31.

The artist is currently on tour in Europe and her next scheduled performance is in Zurich, Switzerland, tomorrow night at Volkshaus. She stays on that continent, with runs in France and the United Kingdom before wrapping up in Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 1.

The new album came out in October and has earned her the praise of publications like Mother Jones and Q. She also premiered a new music video for the song “It’s Happening Again” through NPR recently. Check it out below:
