Amanda Palmer - There Will Be No Intermission (2018-2019)

3/3/19

Release date is this coming friday, but the whole thing is already streaming:

NPR's Stream Link


I'll have to give it a go tomorrow at work (assuming I have time, I have 2 meetings scheduled).

Or I may have to pull my flash drive out of my car and try and check it out there and/or at home tonight if time allows.

I still think this may be a sleeper, although I hope I don't get the feeling I and others got after big hopes for the Typhoon album Offerings from last year.

12/13/18
This thing is being released on March 8, 2019.

Her email from the email list was a novel, but that's par for the course for Amanda.

I could quote some of it; maybe later.

I will just say, it sounds like a very well-thought-out, reworked, played live, demo-ed, etc labored-over record.

her most emotional yet of course.

AMBITION may be the key work with it.

Theatre is Evil was awesome and Who Killed Amanda Palmer had many songs I loved.

This sucker may be as great as she talked about in that email.

20 tracks, 10 instrumentals, and 77 minutes. A concept album I imagine?

As I posted in the 2018-2019 preview..a bit of another sleeper...that is until now, since I know about and have large hopes for it now.
