I’m sure everyone’s aware that Mayer Hawthorne’s highly anticipated A Strange Arrangement drops on September 8. (It’s already on sale via the Stones Throw website.) The original release date, October 6, was changed ostensibly due to demand (and to the album leaking months in advance). Nevertheless, everyone will soon be able to enjoy the dulcet tones of this former DJ turned loverman.
To promote A Strange Arrangement, Mayer Hawthorne will embark on a national tour the Lonely Hearts Club Tour with his live band, the County, and fellow members from his Detroit-based A-Side Worldwide crew, Buff 1 and 14KT. Track listing and concert itinerary is below.
