Marc Ribot announces tour for new album, shares “Daddy’s Trip to Brazil”

Guitarist Marc Ribot releases his first vocal solo album, Map of a Blue City, on May 23 and he’s just announced a tour for it, happening this fall at major cities around the US. Before that he’ll play a record release show in NYC on June 11 at Roulette. Marc also has solo guitar/improv dates in Europe this month, as well as dates with his band Ceramic Dog and new quartet Hurry Red Telephone. All are listed below.

Marc has also shared a second single from Map of a Blue City, “Daddy’s Trip to Brazil,” which he says is “a hungover post-punk echo of Antônio Carlos Jobim’s famous Wave importing the ennui of a late-capitalist touring musician into the tropicalismo paradise.”

You can watch the video, directed by his daughter, Clara McHale-Ribot, below.
