Mei Semones Announces Sophomore Album and North American Tour

Translate

Mei Semones has announced her second album along with a North American tour, the follow-up to her 2025 coming-of-age debut Animaru. Landing on January 15, Howl marks the Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter’s first release for her new labels Verve and Interscope. The lead single is out now alongside a Takuto Shimpo-directed music video, filmed in and around a Tokyo convenience store. Watch that below.

The album’s titular song was written following one Fourth of July in Brooklyn, when fireworks exploded over Semones’s block, inciting a chorus of dog howls. “Sometimes making music feels like howling into the universe,” she wrote in a statement. “I make music because I like it, because it feels instinctual—but it also connects me to people close and far. I like to think of this music as my howl.”

Starting on February 24, Semones will kick off a North American tour that will take her and Howl to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and her hometown of Ann Arbor. Scroll down for the full itinerary.
