Supporting his acclaimed new album, \u2018Serene Demon\u2019 \u2013 out now via Paper Bag Records<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art d\u2019Ecco is hitting the road! The genre-bending artist has announced a string of select North American tour dates in support of his widely praised fourth album, \u2018Serene Demon<\/strong>\u2019\u2014out now on Paper Bag Records. The tour kicks off May 27 in Seattle<\/strong> and runs through June 13 in Victoria, BC<\/strong>, bringing his signature sound to fans across the continent. Tickets are on sale now – www.<\/a>artdeccomusic<\/a>.ca\/tour<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Serene Demon<\/strong>\u2019 blends grand ideas with raw emotion, proving that great pop music doesn\u2019t need to have all the answers\u2014it just needs to make you feel something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIf you’re constantly searching for meaning, take a pause. Life is happening right now,\u201d<\/strong> says Art. \u201cHappiness isn\u2019t something you have to defer\u2014just exist in the moment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A must-hear album for 2025, \u2018Serene Demon<\/strong>\u2019 was named one of Exclaim!<\/em>\u2019s Most Anticipated LPs<\/em>, while lead single I Feel Alive<\/em><\/strong> landed a spot on INDIE88’s Great 88<\/em> and The Traveller<\/em><\/strong> was The Spill Magazine’s<\/em> \u2018Track of the Month\u2019 in December. Fans can dive into the making of the stunning, seven-minute Serene Demon<\/a><\/em><\/strong> video through the lens of director and photographer Izzy Kaz at RANGE Magazine<\/em>, and hear Art break down the track with Tom Power on CBC’s Q<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art d’Ecco: Pushing boundaries, embracing evolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With \u2018Serene Demon<\/strong>,\u2019 Art d\u2019Ecco continues his mission to challenge and inspire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOnce you train the ear of the audience, a new precedent is set,<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> he explains. \u201cTastes evolve. Outliers become icons. That\u2019s how pop music moves forward.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To craft this bold new record, Art spent two months in New York, soaking in cinematic influences from composers like Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone, and Fran\u00e7ois de Roubaix, while imagining the lives of strangers passing by. He took creative risks, pushed his boundaries, and\u2014after an attempted collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli\u2014ultimately took full creative control of the album. The result? A sonic journey featuring nearly 30 musicians, with standout contributions from drummer Malcolm Holt and bassist Pascal Le Vasseur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
