Vagabon's self-titled sophomore album, released digitally and on CD on Nonesuch Records last month, is now available on vinyl. "Each song on Vagabon feels like a small world," says the New Yorker.

Vagabon (aka Lætitia Tamko)’s self-titled sophomore album, released digitally and on CD on Nonesuch Records last month, is now available on vinyl. To pick up a copy, head to your local record store, Amazon, Bandcamp, and the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete album and a limited-edition autographed print while they last; the album can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services.

"Vagabon chronicles a life enriched, and made complicated, by stepping into new contexts," writes the New Yorker's Hua Hsu. "Her singing offers structure to textures that are ethereal, moody, and ever-shifting... Each song on Vagabon feels like a small world." "Her songs embrace mixed, elusive emotions," writes the New York Times's Jon Pareles: "longing and ambivalence, displacement and stability, seeking a home and leaving it behind, confronting fears and searching for hope."

"With a new album, and a dramatically different sound," says Pitchfork, "Laetitia Tamko wants to be nothing less than the best-and she's putting in the work to make it happen." The new album is "a cosmic journey through synthetic sounds, lush orchestral suites and lyrical self-realization," says Paste. "The result is an ambitious album overflowing with generosity and empathy, warm in production and rich in theme."

Clash gives this "indie-pop masterpiece" a nine out of ten, calling it "simply captivating from start to finish ... A voice as captivating as hers is rare, combine it with ultimate creative freedom and then it results in this truly gorgeous sound ... The work of an immensely talented melodic mastermind, Laetitia Tamko's second album touches on the magical."

Vagabon is currently touring North America as special guest of Angel Olsen, performing in Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, and Brooklyn in the week ahead. The tour heads west next month. See below for details and tickets, and visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
