It’s been a decade since the Cinematic Orchestra has embarked on tour, but that is changing as they just announced an expansive US tour. The tour will include special performances at LA’s Walt Disney Concert Hall on November 23, New York City’s Brooklyn Steel and DC’s 9:30 Club.

In celebration of the announcement, the group released a live video for “Lessons,” a cut from their new album and first in 12 years To Believe, out now on Domino/Ninja Tune. The video was shot in Joshua Tree, Ca and directed by Brian B+ Cross. The video provides a great sneak peak of what fans can expect from their live show. CoolHunting praised the video’s sweeping approach, saying that it “commands attention.”

“The desert has been an important reference for Jason and Dominic during the creation of this project,” says B+. “It was wonderful to go back out to Joshua Tree and hear the music performed live by the full band…to capture the energy in the room.”

The group’s album To Believe came out in March 2019. It earned praise from NPR who claimed the album was “soaring, rich,” also said that there is “an incredible range to the record.”

The Cinematic Orchestra is led by Jason Swinscoe and Dom Smith. The tour will include a 7-piece band of virtuosic performers who have a long-standing experience with the electronic group. The tour announcement follows a 3-night run of hometown shows as London’s Roundhouse, which the Times of London called “atmospheric and transporting.”
