New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Last month, the Nashville-based artist Elise Davis released her stunning debut album The Token via Thirty Tigers. Today, Davis premieres the official video for "I Just Want Your Love" with The Wall Street Journal.
Starting November 16 in St. Louis, MO, Davis will celebrate the new album with a fall tour that includes dates supporting Jonathan Tyler and The
Black Lillies.
Davis was named one of TIDAL Rising's "This Week's 5 Artists To Watch."
TIDAL said "a rich and highly personal sonic tapestry focusing on her path to the present, The Token is at the same time a steady rocking ('Benefits'), passionate ('The Token') and honest ('Pretty Girl') country-tinged record bound to make an impression."
Recently, Noisey premiered The Token in its entirety and said "Like
Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves, she brings a soulful, rock-like spunk to a genre that sorely needs it."
Rolling Stone Country has also named Elise Davis one of "10 New Country Artists You Need To Know" and praised the album for its "14 indelible and deeply personal songs."
Over the last few months, Elise and her debut have earned praised from The Nashville Scene, American Songwriter, The Tennessean, PopMatters, BULLETT and more.
The Token was produced by Sam Kassirer - keyboardist in Josh Ritter's band and an accomplished producer known for work with the likes of Ritter, Lake Street Dive, Erin McKeown, Langhorne Slim, and others. During the winter of 2015, Davis and Kassirer decamped to his Great Northern Sound Society studio in rural
Maine to record the album.
The instrumental support was delivered by guitarist Josh Kaufman (Day of the Dead collaborator with
Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National,
Craig Finn, Bob Weir), bassist Bradley Cook (Sharon Van Etten, Indigo Girls), drummer Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver, Hiss Golden Messenger).
The Token is now available for purchase via iTunes and Amazon, as well as on CD and limited edition double-disc 180 gram transparent vinyl.
