Alt-country artist Angela Autumn gave another taste of their forthcoming album Believer yesterday.

“Heavy Tobacco” comes with a music video directed by Jonie On Film, which can be seen below. Autumn said this about the new song:

"This is a song about the tobacco spirit. In many cultures, particularly American indigenous, tobacco is regarded for its purification abilities. I don’t think many folks see tobacco as ‘healthy;’ quite the opposite. The message is that anything positive can become harmful when abused. It’s me reflecting upon choices that were necessary but carried both positive and negative consequences.

Fame feels like something to be chased, with a time limit on our actualization. Smoking is a way of counting moments, of categorizing time. Inevitably our goals and desires will run out and we are left with our legacy, and impact on the earth– consciously or unconsciously."

Autumn also announced a North American headlining tour kicking off on December 4 at The Hideout in Chicago. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here. Pre-orders for Believer can be made here. Autumn’s sophomore album will be released on September 11 via Gar Hole Records.
