Having wowed UK audiences in May, Nicole Atkins has just announced a European tour, including 6 date UK shows. Nicole Atkins starts the UK leg in Manchester on October 16th and finishes at the Lexington in London on October 24th. Feted by Bruce Springsteen, Nicole Atkins European tour follows a series of shows supporting Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds in North America.

Nicole Atkins’ new album ‘Slow Phaser‘ released on her own label Oh’Mercy! Records/ Thirty Tigers in April, was praised by critics and fans alike. The album features the single ‘Girl You Look Amazing’ along with 10 other fantastic songs that make up an album Nicole is calling ‘neon noir tour de force of hi-def late-night pop’. This album marks Atkins' most ingenious and indelibly modern collection to date. Bittersweet yet life affirming, Slow Phaser is Nicole Atkins at her confident and unpredictable best - spirited, sexy, and determinedly forward thinking

“I wanted to make something that no one's ever heard before," she says, "including myself.” Nicole Atkins collaborated with veteran drummer/producer Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Cramps, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks), who co-wrote three of the songs and producer Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, The Cardigans) with whom she partnered on her now-classic 2007 debut, Neptune City, and with whom she also co-wrote a few songs. The album was recorded at Johansson's residential studio in Malmo, Sweden and with his able assistance, she devised a compelling , new sonic approach, melding psychedelic energy, prog rock adventurism, after hours disco ambience, and the raw emotional purity of the finest country soul.

‘Seeing is certainly believing - Nicole is immense, irrefutable, and devastating. Lovers of audacious, in-your-face performance are advised not to miss Nicole Atkins next time she pulls into town.’

‘Blessed with a siren voice of innate and intricate grace and restraint. Buy this.’ - Sunday Times

‘Bursts with attitude and vitality. her lustrous vocals, irresistible swagger and compositional ingenuity excel here.’ - 4 stars Daily Mirror
