Kelsey Lu‘s first album in seven years, So Help Me God, is out this Friday, and ahead of its release, they’ve given us a final early taste with the majestic, orchestrated “Cutting Off the Head of a Ghost.” They originally wrote it with Patrick Wimberly for the animated series Arcane, and it features a children’s choir. Watch the video below.

Lu also announced a fall tour, with North American shows in September and October followed by a European run in November. See all dates below.

The NYC show is at Pioneer Works on October 3. Tickets to that and all dates go on sale Friday, June 12 at 10 AM local, with various presales starting Wednesday, June 10 at 10 AM local.

finally listened to this on my lunch break. that children’s choir part hits different, like it’s haunting but in a good way? feels like it belongs in some epic movie scene, not just arcane. gonna have to spin the album this weekend. also, side note, anyone else think their tour dates are weirdly sparse? feels like theyre skipping half the country.

wait really?? the choir part gave me chills too, wasnt expecting that. ngl always thought their stuff was more lowkey but this feels bigger tour dates weird how? like spread out or just random cities? tbh cant believe im hyped for this now, guess ill check the album too...
