Dizraeli announces UK tour dates for the release of brand new book

By Issy Packer  Sunday Jun 4, 2023

The Bristol rapper has announced a short UK tour in support of the release of his debut book, Animal Noises.

The book is a collection of lyrics, diary entries, experimental writings and surreal illustrations plucked from the margins of his notebooks.

Of the new work, Dizraeli described it as “a book about letting go of control and perfection, and laying bare the messiness of the creative process of life.”

The artist has built a devoted underground following with his first band Bad Science (1999-2008), through to his debut solo album Engurland (City Shanties) in 2009 and a world tour to celebrate the acclaimed Moving In The Dark with Dizraeli and The Small Gods a short while later.

Throughout his career, Dizraeli has collaborated with the likes of Kae Tempest, Jam Baxter, Beans on Toast and Eliza Carthy.

Exploring the crossover between hip-hop, folk, bass and everything in between, Dizraeli most recently released his solo masterpiece The Unmaster, which was nominated for Album of the Year in the 2020 Worldwide Awards by Gilles Peterson.

The rapper and poet kicked off his UK book tour at London’s Roundhouse on June 2 and will stop at Exeter, Bournemouth, Bristol before ending in Brighton on July 3.

Tickets for his Bristol are show are on sale now and can be found at hdfst.uk/E88529
