"Less focused on introspection and centered around joy, her new album, Sorry I Haven't Called, is a celebration," NPR's World Cafe host Kallao says of his guest Vagabon (aka Lætitia Tamko)'s new record, released earlier this year. The episode is a mini-concert of four songs from Vagabon's tour, which concludes at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles this Wednesday night. You can hear the set, including three songs from the new album—"Autobahn," "Anti-F***," and "Lexicon"—plus "Water Me Down," from Vagabon's 2019 self-titled Nonesuch debut album, here:

On Sorry I Haven’t Called, Vagabon reinvents herself once again with the most playful and adventurous music of her career. Co-produced by Tamko and Rostam (Vampire Weekend, Haim), the album features twelve vibrant tracks she wrote and produced primarily in Germany that channel dance music and effervescent pop through her own confident sensibilities. “This record feels like what I've been working towards,” Tamko has said. “It's completely euphoric.”
