This project follows an artistic renaissance for the indie songwriting and performance duo, which most recently included a massive Austin City Limits debut, as well as their critically lauded album ‘a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun’ which Vogue called “the feel-good album of the summer”, and which The Line of Best Fit said “brilliantly rounds off a triumphant return” and that had The Fader proclaiming “Aly & AJ just keep winning”.
Highlights of the album cycle included interviews with NPR, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, events with WNYC and the Grammy Museum, national television performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Good Morning America, and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and brand partnerships with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Aperol Spritz and United Airlines. They embarked on a headlining national tour followed by a North American run of shows with Ben Platt which included performances at Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl, and also had revered festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, BottleRock and Sea Hear Now. Aly & AJ are currently overseas prepping for an EU/UK tour starting next week in Paris and with stops in Amsterdam, Manchester, Glasgow, London, and Dublin, as well as a performance at Corona Capital in Mexico City on November 18.
