KT Tunstall Slips Into Her ‘Tiger Suit’

“Nature Techo” is how Tunstall refers to the tracks on her upcoming album, Tiger Suit, which lands in stores Oct. 5. Recorded in Berlin’s Hansa Studios, Tiger Suit is described as featuring “organic instrumentation” that is “blended with dance-friendly textures.” But if that’s too many words to remember, Tunstall likes to refer to the album’s “rootsiness” combined with electronic textures simply as “nature techno.”

After playing dates in the U.K., Tunstall begins her North American run in Portland at McMenamins Crystal Ballroom Oct. 31. Next up is Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom Nov. 1 followed by Seattle at Shobox SoDo Nov. 2. Other cities on the tour include Spokane, San Francisco, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Toronto, Montreal, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington. Last stop is New York at Terminal 5 Dec. 1.

Hurricane Bells appear on all dates.

Tickets go on sale beginning Sept. 10. For more information, click here for KT Tunstall’s website.
