Maria Minerva - Will Happiness Find Me? album, stream new track + tour dates

After a busy 2011 that saw her release two 12" EPs, a cassette, and a double LP, Estonian songstress Maria Minerva has announced her first release of 2012.

Will Happiness Find Me? will be released on September 4th by Los Angeles label Not Not Fun.

The album sees her synthesizing the dancier leanings of last November's Sacred & Profane Love EP for 100% Silk and the avant-garde ground covered by the Cabaret Cixous double LP, resulting in her finest work to date.

Following the release of Will Happiness Find Me? Maria will head out on her first ever US tour, starting with a MOMA PS1 Warm Up show alongside Atoms for Peace, Rustie and Holy other, and ending back in New York just in time for CMJ. To celebrate the announcement of her new LP and tour, Maria is sharing Will Happiness Find Me? cut "The Sound" (stream link below). Check out full details of the tour, album and hear the track below.
