Since releasing her first EP in 2014, Laetitia Tamko – under her stage name Vagabon – has crept up the ranks of indie’s best songwriters. While her first album Infinite Worlds feels like classic 90s indie rock, she followed that up in 2019 with a self-titled album that leaned more heavily into synth pop territory, notably featuring one of this writer’s favorite songs of the 2010s, “Water Me Down.” 

In September of this year, she released her much-anticipated follow-up album, Sorry I Haven’t Called, which feels like a synthesis of her early indie roots with her developed pop sensibilities. To achieve this, Tamko enlisted Rostam Batmanglij to help produce. 

On Thursday 10/26, Vagabond will swing through the Crystal Ballroom in Davis Square, with support from Nourished By Time. We had previously covered both of these artists when they performed at this summer’s Pitchfork Festival in Chicago. Unfortunately, Vagabon was only able to perform two songs before a lightning warning forced the festival to temporarily evacuate. While it would have been cool to get a preview of Sorry I Haven’t Called prior to the album’s release, at least now we’ve had about a month to marinate in these tunes. Needless to say, we’re excited. 

Purchase tickets to Vagabon’s show on 10/26 at the Crystal Ballroom with Nourished By Time here. Also, be sure to check out Vagabon’s interview with Allston Pudding from back in 2015!
