MY BABY Announce 'Echo' Album Tour of Aotearoa New Zealand

The team of Dutch siblings Cato van Dijck and Joost van Dijck with Aotearoa's Daniel ‘DaFreez’ Johnston, a nationwide tour by MY BABY has become a much looked forward to staple of our local sunny season. Last here in March sizzling up WOMAD, the trio have had a cracker of a year since, playing the UK's iconic Glastonbury Festival, touring Europe, supporting US songwriting star Alanis Morissette, and unfurling to the world the trance-like grooves of their new studio record Echo.

An album "about resonance — of sound, of history, and of the female voices that time has overlooked", MY BABY will soon be back for a seven date headline tour in celebration of Echo, taking them all around the motu from 12th March onwards (preceded by two shows in Adelaide). Get an advance taste with lead videos 'Smiley Virus' and 'Less is More', dig in to Echo in full below, and hit the dancefloor at the following dates...

Press release:

Dutch / New Zealand visionary trio MY BABY are set to return to Aotearoa for a packed seven-show tour across the country, celebrating their most recent album Echo.

Released in July last year, Echo stands as one of MY BABY’s most ambitious recordings - a concept driven journey that explores Echoes, in both literal and symbolic ways, drawing from ancient myths, feminine archetypes and the endless reverberations of time. The band takes inspiration from goddesses, sirens, prophets, and warriors, peeling back the layers of history to reclaim and rewrite their stories. Sonically it evolves on their signature bluesy, roots-driven delta trance and delves deeper into hypnotics; more pulsating rhythms, swirling guitars and ethereal vocals. In true MY BABY style, it’s an album that you want to see live.
