CoSigned songwriter Aly Spaltro, a.k.a. Lady Lamb, has announced the release of a brand new EP, which she’ll support with an extensive “Living Room Tour” starting early next year.

The EP is titled Tender Warriors Club and is set for release on December 1st through Mom + Pop Records (a physcial release will follow on January 13th). Described as her “attempt to focus on intimacy and vulnerability, both musically and thematically,” the EP was written in her native Maine, her current hometown of Brooklyn, and in a home studio in rural Sweden, where it was also recorded.

Spaltro expanded on the EP’s themes in an issued statement, writing:

“These songs served as a path for myself that making a conscious effort to stay tender, and be kind and patient towards myself when handling my own fears is the most fruitful way to maneuver them in personal relationships. Tender Warriors Club is not just a collection of songs. It is meant to serve as an emblematic space for people to relate in the shared interest of emotional vulnerability, using music as the collective form of self-expression. It is my hope that this work and concept can be a reminder to both myself and others to find the courage to remain sensitive through emotional challenges. I’d like to bring these themes into intimate spaces musically, without amplification or a traditional stage, as a means to connect through the aforementioned concept that striving to express oneself with tenderness is ultimately a strength.”

Listen to the EP’s lead single, “See You”, below.

Beginning on January 12th, Lady Lamb will embark on a Living Room Tour. Over the course of three months, she’ll play intimate shows presented in houses, art galleries, community spaces, recording studios, coffee shops, or other spaces that can comfortably hold 40-75 people. The location of each show will be revealed upon the purchase of tickets, which go on sale December 1st. Fans can also submit to host their own show; click here for more info.
