After a seven-year hiatus, The Black Queen, led by Greg Puciato and Steven Ryan Alexander, are back with a North American tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album Fever Daydream. Originally released in 2016, the record fused industrial tension, R&B undercurrents, and brooding electronics into a sleek, immersive soundscape that quickly became a cult favorite.
"As anyone into The Black Queen knows, we've been dormant for a minute," Puciato says. "A lot of things ended up on the front burner and suddenly seven years had gone by, and 10 years since Fever Daydream's release. Fever Daydream was really special and we know it meant a lot to fans as well.
"So we figured let's get some grease on us and get some of that mojo back before releasing our third album. Maybe we'll toss some new songs in as well. See you soon."
The tour kicks off May 8 in Portland and runs through early June, with the band performing all ten tracks from Fever Daydream in full, alongside selections from their sophomore album, Infinite Games.
