Jon Hopkins to Play Neumos and Vancouver’s Imperial on Forthcoming Tour Supporting ‘Singularity’

Jon Hopkins released his new album, Singularity, earlier this month. Debuting at #3 on the Billboard US Dance/Electronic Chart, #9 in the UK overall, and #1 on the UK Dance and Independent Charts, it marks Hopkins first top 10 release in the UK. Following Moogfest, Festival of Disruption, and tomorrownight’s sold out performance at Elsewhere in Brooklyn, Hopkins will return for a proper North American tour this fall. Special guests Daniel Avery and Leon Vynehall will support. All dates are below and tickets are on sale this Thu. May 24th.

Where Hopkins’ last album, Immunity, charted the dark alternative reality of an epic night out, Singularity explores the dissonance between dystopian urbanity and the green forest. Shaped by his experiences with meditation and trance states, the album explores the connectivity of the mind, sonics and the natural world. It flows seamlessly from rugged techno to transcendent choral music, from solo acoustic piano to psychedelic ambient. Its epic musical palette is visceral and emotionally honest: with a destructive opener full of industrial electronics and sonic claustrophobia and a redemptive, pure end on solo piano.

A full list of tour dates can be found below. Hopkins will be making two Northwest appearances with opener Leon Vynehall.
