Yann Tiersen announces album and UK tour
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 3 August 2010
Freshly signed to Mute, the brilliant Yann Tiersen has announced that he will release his new album, ‘Dust Lanes’, on 4 Oct. Tiersen is best known for his plinky-ponky French music, a la the ‘Amelie’ soundtrack, though his last tour in 2006 (and the resulting album, ‘On Tour’) saw him descend into the depths of prog and post-rock. ‘Dust Lanes’, Tiersen explains, is “a journey on the dusty lane that leads us to death. Not a sad thing, but like a colourful, sometimes painful, but mostly joyful experience: life!”
