Paramore has announced a small run of dates with Copeland that will hit theaters and small venues.
It feels right to bring the Self-Titled era to a close. We've had a very personal and hugely triumphant journey with this one. What wouldn't feel right is saying goodbye to this time in the band's career and not celebrating it with our fans in some special way. So we've decided to do one last little run with it. Smaller shows, beautiful theaters…and we're not calling it a tour, by the way. Each night will be a little event, or as we said just a few seconds ago, a celebration. As we acknowledge the past few years (and more) of everything we've been through together, we're also looking forward together at all there is to come.
Copeland are streaming their new album, Ixora, on Spotify.
The music on Ixora -- which is titled after a type of tropical flower found in Florida -- is a logical continuation of Copeland's emotional and atmospheric melodies. Aaron's lyrics, however, represent a more mature take on life. "My life is drastically different as a 34-year-old dude married with two kids than it was as a homeless band dude with a lot of young person drama," the singer says. "A lot of it's about my kids, my life and my family, and dealing with all of the mental issues that come with becoming a parent. There's a happy-sad tone to it all, which has always been true of our music. It's just less love songs than it used to be. In my mind, these lyrics are some of the best I've ever written."
