Tasseomancy have returned from a full run of European tour dates with Andy Shauf and will set out on the road in North America this month with Mega Bog. Full tour dates can be found below.
On their latest album, Do Easy, sisters Romy and Sari Lightman explore the Discipline of D.E. (Do Easy), a William Burrough’s short story outlining a don't-bust-a-gut Buddhist philosophy. On the album, i-D claimed that “Tasseomancy have added a bit of magic to the mundane, injecting the pop stratosphere with their own transfixing blend of influence,” while the FADER described it as “Glowing, dreamy retro-pop song, undercut with a little bit of melancholy.”
Noisey called Do Easy “Otherworldly experimental pop—think Kate Bush soundtracking an interdimensional shuttle ride.”

Sari and Romy Lightman are former members of queer cold-wave band, Austra. Channelling their former forays in psychedelic folk into a kind of lushly accessible, warmly experimental dream-pop along with bandmates Johnny Spence and Evan Cartwright, they explore manipulated sounds, all with mood in mind. Assisted by friends Brodie West (alto-sax), Ryan Driver (flute), Simone Schmidt (voice of a young Neil Young), and Alex Cowan (Blue Hawaii) that exploration reaches full bloom on Do Easy, the sound of a band hitting their richly imagined, luxuriously executed stride. And, wealth of evocative references included, making it all sound easy.
