The Shoe Announces New Tour and New Video Premiere On The Heels of First Full Length Album “I’m Okay,” Out Now

First Full Length Album “I’m Okay,” Out Now
(Community Music/There Was An Old Woman Records)
 

 
“Crafting pitch-perfect indie pop tracks, ones filled with intimacy, stripped-down melodies, and floaty vocals.” – Nylon
 
“Early Cat Power realness.” –BUST
 
“…a collection of heartfelt vintage pop numbers…” – Elle
 
“…gorgeously melancholy tunes about love.” – Cosmopolitan
 
“The Shoe fits! They’re AH-Mazing!” – Perez Hilton
 
“It’s an intimate, delicate, ethereal album full of loose whispers and whirly keyboards. The tunes are imbued with a sensation of eavesdropping on whimsical pillow talk or reading a lost, secret diary.” – Refinery 29
 
Thompson Hotels X The Shoe Takeover Tour 
After three stunning performances at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on June 3rd, The Shoe is embarking on the international Thompson Hotels X The Shoe Takeover Tour. Known for their improvisational style and ability to fit their entire live setup in the trunk of a Fiat, The Shoe, duo of multi-talented Jena Malone (Donnie DarkoHunger Games) and Lem Jay Ignacio are ready for their musical sojourn.
 
The critical success of The Shoe’s debut LP, I’m Okay, is highlighted by the film for track “His Gorgeousness,” directed by celebrated artist Aliya Naumoff. The film, premiered by NOWNESS, follows Jena on a surreal romp in the woods.
 
For a sneak peek at The Shoe’s live show, check out a stripped down performance done exclusively for JustJared.
