Rostam Announces North American Tour Dates  Image

Rostam begins his first North American tour on January 29th in Atlanta, and will continue through February with stops in Nashville, Washington DC, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles (full schedule below).

"If you've never seen me perform, it's always with strings-usually a string quartet-, live percussion, and video projections," Rostam says. "I'm so psyched to see you out there on the road in January, February, and throughout 2018."

For a peek into the live performances to come, watch Rostam perform songs from Half-Light live on Seattle's KEXP.

Rostam's debut album Half Light (Nonesuch) is available now on all digital platforms and in stores. The album has received rave reviews internationally, with Vulture saying "The album glows with romantic turmoil and raw nostalgia...There is certainly a bit of pain in [Rostam's] remarkably compelling voice. But it's also so airy and whispery in tone, so sincere... that it sounds like he's feeling the entire spectrum of emotions, and feeling them hard..." andDaily Beast calling it "one of the more extraordinary albums of the year."

Rostam Batmanglij is known for his work in Vampire Weekend (producing each of their three albums), Discovery, his album with Hamilton Leithauser, and recently, his production work with Haim, Charli XCX, Frank Ocean, and more. His kaleidoscopic debut features fifteen songs that were written, produced, and performed by Rostam in his Los Angeles home studio.
