Langhorne Slim & The War Eagles embark on an extensive European tour that hits the UK & Ireland at the end of October playing in London, Nottingham, Manchester, Glasgow & Dublin.
Langhorne Slim began his musical career in Brooklyn. He signed with Narnack records releasing his first EP, Electric Love Letter in March of 2004. The more varied and band-oriented full-length, When The Sun’s Gone Down followed in the spring of 2005. In 2006, Langhorne Slim signed with V2 Records and in September of that year released the Engine EP. Recently, Langhorne completed tours with The Avett Brothers, Lucero, Murder By Death and Rocky Votolato.
The eponymous debut Kemado release features 13 new tracks, which were recorded at the Great North Sound Society in Maine. The album was produced by Langhorne’s drummer Malachi DeLorenzo and Josh Ritter’s keyboardist/producer Sam Kassirer, who also contributed piano, organ and accordion. On the recording of the album Langhorne states, “This experience in Maine with Sam, Malachi and Paul led us to our most comfortable, cohesive and soul-shaking music to date.” The song “Sometimes” was produced and mixed by Brian Deck (Iron and Wine) at Engine Studios in Chicago. Additional players on the album include Paul Defiglia (upright bass), Dan Nosheny (tuba, trombone), Brian Deck (keyboards, assorted effects) and Jim Becker (violin).

“...damn near perfect...”–– Rolling Stone
“Slim is a kind of one man Americana museum, fusing rockabilly, dustbowl folk-country and power pop strumathons” UNCUT
“Langhorne Slim has the kind of fixation with old-time America that makes young men do strange things, like wear porkpie hats and listen to Tom Waits. His performance style has been molded to fit a long-lost entertainment era.” – TimeOut NY
