Today (3.25), Scarypoolparty announces ‘The Acoustic Tour’, a 16-show solo acoustic tour set for this June. Throughout 2020, this “rare virtuoso” (MTV) performed a series of live streams for the likes of Billboard, BeeApp, Inside Lands and MelodyVR, plus streams for LA venues The Roxy, The Wiltern and Hotel Cafe. Kicking off June 4 in Tempe, AZ, this upcoming socially-distanced tour is among the first post-pandemic artist tour announcements and marks his first round of dates coming this year.
Pre-sale for The Acoustic Tour kicks off Friday, March 26th (password: Paradise). Public on-sale begins on Saturday, March 27th. Details here.
The 2020 pandemic lockdown was a time of trailblazing creativity for Scarypoolparty (aka Alejandro Aranda), during which he gained artistic momentum and expanded his audience. The year included the critically-acclaimed EP DOOM HOLOGRAM, which was featured on NPR New Music Friday, Billboard, The Wild Honey Pie and Forbes, who called it “an incredibly visual and cinematic work.” Now with an arsenal of never-before-heard music, is ready for a big 2021.
Last month, he released his single “Home,” a dark meditation on longing and loneliness blending organic acoustic elements with electronic samples, which landed on Spotify’s Chill Pop and Creativity Boost playlists, Apple Music’s New Alternative Playlist, Amazon’s Breakthrough Alternative and more. He’s also been surprising fans with new music on his YouTube channel, releasing videos for tracks “Cellphones” and “The Darkness”, plus a 51-minute minute piano improv.
Out this Friday (3.26), LOS ANGELES(via Hollywood Records) is his first major release of 2021 and a product of the stillness of the past year. Co-produced by SAWYR (Taylor Swift, ZAYN, Nicki Minaj) and Scarypoolparty, the new EP is a complex mix of The Weeknd-esque alt-R&B with a jazz-inspired rock vibe. These songs are filled with raw, introspective honesty and Scarypoolpary’s signature probing lyrics and addictive hooks.
“From the outside, a lot of people think of LA as this paradise,” Aranda explains, “but living here, you see a lot of people hurting, a lot of people in pain that no one wants to talk about.”
