Early last month we got our first peek at the tracklisting for Tori Amos‘s upcoming new album Night of Hunters. Today we get to see a few new promo photos that have been released to promote the disc’s release next month. The photos were shot by a photographer named Victor de Mello and they seem thematically tied together, even tho they are different from one another. The amazing fansite Undented has uncovered some new deets about Night of Hunters, including which musicians will appear on the album. Among the guest artists featured is Tori‘s daughter Natashya Lórien. Click below to see the photos and read the deets.
Amazon.co.uk has added some additional information about Night of Hunters to one of their listings for the record. In addition to a track list that matches what was previously posted on Play.com (but has since been removed), Amazon is showing what appears to be the musicians for each track on the album — and what enticing performer credits they are! For instance, Tash’s name appears with a few tracks, including “SnowBlind,” “Cactus Practice,” “Job’s Coffin,” and “The Chase.” Peruse the list and you’ll see four names repeated a lot: Pawel Zalejski, Bartosz Zachlod, Piotr Szumiel, and Piotr Skweres. Together, they’re the quartet known as Apollon Musagète, a Polish ensemble whom we posted about last weekend and have recorded recently with Tori in Cornwall. There’s also Andreas Ottensamer, principal clarinetist for the Berliner Philharmoniker; oboeist Nigel Shore ; bassoonist Peter Whelan ; and flautist Laura Lucas (whose website is currently on the fritz). Of course, we hasten to remind everyone that nothing’s final until it hits the stores and the airwaves this Fall. Given the late June studio session with Apollon Musagète, it seems that Night of Hunters is still a work being forged, so plenty can change. And on a related note, the release date for the record on Amazon.com’s listing for the deluxe edition of the record has been changed to September 20th. However, all the UK retailers still maintain a September 26th release date, so there seems to be some wet concrete on that point as well.
Naturally, this performer information can change before the final album is completed and released … but one thing’s for sure, if Tash is a featured performer on some of the songs (as she is credited above) then I suspect she will NOT be cut from the final album release. As you may recall, Tash provided vocals on Tori‘s Xmas album Midwinter Graces and she featured in a few music videos from the Abnormally Attracted to Sin album. It sounds like she is becoming quite the little musician/singer. As for these photos, they are beautiful. I am SO excited for the release of this album. I managed to nab a pair of tickets for the 2 NYC shows and the 2 LA shows that Tori will be performing in December. I CANNOT WAIT! But, before the shows … comes the album. Hopefully we’ll be hearing the first single very soon.
