Andy Shauf is driving us out to a wild and dangerous place. Norm, his new album out February 10th on ANTI-, is a recognizable Shauf production, but with a flowing landscape of suppressed grooves propelling the songs toward uncertain destinations. The story takes shape through little epiphanies, accumulating like debris from a series of implosions, beginning with last month’s “jaunty [and] existential” (Stereogum) lead single/album opener, “Wasted On You.” Today, Shauf returns with the new single, “Catch Your Eye.” Accompanied by a charming, animatedvideo written by Shauf and animated by Mary Vertulfo, “Catch Your Eye” continues along Norm’s tracklist, and depicts a missed connection in a grocery store. “I need to meet you // I need to catch your eye,” Shauf confesses through layers of vocals and muted guitar, before bright synth tones usher the tune along.
Beginning next month, Shauf will bring his acclaimed live performance to a slew of cities across North America, Europe and the UK in support of Norm, with Katy Kirby and Marina Allen supporting select North American dates.
