Madds Buckley Sets North American Tour, Kicks Off Oct 27 in Nashville

Madds Buckley has announced her most extensive headline tour to date, set to launch its first leg on October 27 in her hometown of Nashville, TN, before resuming for a second leg on January 20 in Kansas City, MO. The tour supports her upcoming album, A SIMPLE BINARY AND A COMPLEX PHRASE, due out October 16. Alongside the announcement, the gold-certified singer-songwriter has shared a new single, TOMES AND TOMBSTONES.

Alongside the tour announcement, Madds shares her new single, 'Tomes and Tombstones,' a folky, haunting exploration of a painful breakup and the resolve to press on. Listen here: https://maddsbuckley.ffm.to/tomesandtombstones.

Of the song, Madds says, ''Tomes and Tombstones' pictures old wounds like a haunting: a shadow at the corners of your eyes, creaky floorboards and door hinges, and a chilling curse. A graveyard, an old house, a moonlit night. Despite it all, the music swells into powerful folky emotion: acknowledging, but not wallowing in the past and what it takes. 'Will you ever have enough?' is a war cry. And sometimes, facing what lurks behind is the only way to move forward.'

On A Simple Binary and a Complex Phrase, Buckley widens her sound and thematic scope more than ever before. Across the album, she examines the ways we connect, disconnect, and lose parts of ourselves to technology. It's an album for those feeling disillusioned with a world that seems willing to cede more and more humanity to technology, and a call to action for those eager to resist. Buckley first introduced the world of A Simple Binary and a Complex Phrase with 'Overboard,' 'Concept Without Proof,' 'Human to You,' and 'Sitting Pretty,' songs that pair her genre-blending sound with lyrics shaped by anime, video games, and lived experience.
