Entitled Theatre Is Evil, the album was recently recorded in Melbourne with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Murder By Death, Modest Mouse, Xiu Xiu), and is due out in September. Palmer and GTO will embark on a six-city summer tour, unveiling the new album as a series of intimate performances alongside a dynamic visual art exhibit featuring 30 contemporary artists to include Frances Bean Cobain, Shepard Fairey, Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses), David Mack and Cynthia Von Buhler.
Arguably her most pop-influenced album yet, Theatre Is Evil showcases Amanda's powerful vocals and talented songwriting in ways that may surprise even her most ardent fans. Written over the course of several years (since the release of her last studio album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer), the album offers a collection of sounds and rhythms heavily influenced by the music Palmer grew up listening to - most notably 80s synth rock and Brit Pop. From the anthemic "Do It With A Rockstar" and "Want it Back" to the mighty, horn-induced bop of "Massachusetts Avenue", Theatre is Evil is tauntingly playful. At the same time, a more somber, vulnerable Amanda Palmer pulls at our heart strings with ballads like "Trout Heart Replica", "Grown Man Cry", and the piece de resistance: "The Bed Song", a somber, melancholy track that documents the slow deterioration of a long-term marriage.

Smoke Ring For My Halo (Deluxe Edition) $20.99 (AUD) Former member of THE WAR ON DRUGS, KURT VILE has been compared to LEONARD COHEN, TOM PETTY, PSYCHIC TV and ANIMAL COLLECTIVE in the same review. The double CD package includes the critically acclaimed album plus a bonus 6-song EP, dressed in a new, colour O-card. | $9.99 (AUD) | $22.99 (AUD) | $26.99 (AUD) "Ashes was captured completely on the fly with a terrifying lack of planning, so everything you see in this film is real. The musicianship and their combined will to elevate each song to new heights every night is real. Their appreciation of one another is real, and at the core of the film is their increasingly brilliant body of songs. I can only hope the film conveys the feeling of utter joy, beauty and triumph I feel after I see them play." |
