Bedouine Announces New Album ‘Neon Summer Skin’ & Shares ‘Long Way To Fall’ Single

Singer-songwriter Azniv Korkejian will release a new Bedouine album, Neon Summer Skin, on June 5 through Thirty Tigers. Bedouine will host a pair of album release concerts supporting the record featuring the single, “Long Way To Fall.”

Korkejian co-produced the bulk of the LP with frequent cohort Gus Seyffert. Additional production came from Jonathan Rado and The Lemon Twigs’ Michael D’Addario and Brian D’Addario.

The 11-track Neon Summer Skin, which sees Korkejian returning to the trumpet and other valved brass instruments, was informed by her journey to Saudi Arabia to visit family members. In a statement regarding the album, Bedouine revealed:

“For my 20s and much of my 30s, I couldn’t sit still. I was so curious about my own independence that it just didn’t occur to me for the longest time to mourn the past. But after that trip to Saudi Arabia, I came home and was so devastated. I couldn’t place the feeling immediately, but as I started writing, I realized I was processing that I wasn’t ready to stop being somebody’s kid.

“I felt so frustrated about the places that I’m from becoming war torn or difficult to return to. My family has been split apart time and time again, immigrating between Armenia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. I wanted to document and honor my family’s stories.”

Bedouine’s album release concerts will be held in Los Angeles at Largo at the Coronet on June 6 and at National Sawdust in Brooklyn on June 11. Tap below for links to tickets and to start listening to the single, “Long Way To Fall.”
