MOVEMENT ANNOUNCE US TOUR DATES; STREAM THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT EP


Movement are today pleased to announce their first run of US headline tour dates, spanning both coasts this coming June. The tour will be in support of their debut self-titled EP, which is out next Tuesday May 6th on Modular Recordings. Tickets for the Los Angeles show go on sale this Thursday, May 1st; all remaining shows go on sale this Friday, May 2nd.
 
A stream of the Movement EP, featuring singles ‘Like Lust’ and ‘Ivory’, premiered yesterday on Dazed, and you are also able to stream/embed the EP via Soundcloud here.
 
 
Best New Track for ‘Us’ and ‘Like Lust’ - Pitchfork

“When first hearing Movement it would be understandable to assume it was just one producer weaving hazy, smooth sounds while repeating vocal phrases like mantras. But this is a band, and watching them play this music and sing these vocals in front of you is breathtaking.” -Stereogum

“Sydney’s Movement drops what is probably their best song yet (although “Like Lust” continues to creep on us in the best way) in the spectral/sexy new track Ivory” - Gorilla vs Bear
 
“…(a) swampy mid-tempo jammer with a yearning chord progression and the sort of heavy-chested, late night atmosphere that sounds really nice inside headphones.” – The Fader on ‘Ivory’
 
Movement have been honing their live show with support slots on tours with Solange and Darkside. Get a taste of what to expect on their upcoming dates via the previously released videos for ‘Us’ and ‘Like Lust’.
