... but I always could accessorize. I heard those lyrics earlier this week when "Talula" (and yes, Tori geeks, I think it was the "Tornado Mix" from the soundtrack to Twister
) shuffled up on my iPod and I got to thinkin', where the heck's the next Tori album? It's been ages! Abnormally Attracted to Sin
came out in 2009; there was Midwinter Graces
last year but that was her Christmas album so it doesn't really count. Even if there wasn't anything really approaching a straight-forward cover on it and it was all her own music. (But I'm not the best judge on Midwinter Graces since I never could get too into it.) Anyway we have news! Via here:"Hey Tori fans,
We have some exciting news to report. Tori has a new album titled Night of Hunters set for September release. The album will coming out via the world’s most celebrated classical label, Deutsche Grammophon.
Here’s how Tori describes the new record:
"It's a 21st century song cycle inspired by classical music themes spanning over 400 years. I have used the structure of a song cycle to tell an ongoing, modern story. The protagonist is a woman who finds herself in the dying embers of a relationship. In the course of one night she goes through an initiation of sorts that leads her to reinvent herself allowing the listener to follow her on a journey to explore complex musical and emotional subject matter. One of the main themes explored on this album is the hunter and the hunted and how both exist within us.”
Hear exclusive tracks from Night of Hunters via the website and email soon."
Night of Hunters, huh? Has Tori been
watching some Charles Laughton lately?

One of my favorite Tori lyrics in that title.
And I love how concept-y all of her album descriptions are, even if I never quite see those throughlines as clearly as she does. I haven't loved a Tori album top-to-bottom since "Scarlett's Walk," but hope springs eternal.
I love that you keep us up on Tori. Say what you will, the woman still turns out interesting music and a hell of a live concert.
I have loved her since Little Earthquakes. She has been the one artist I have never given up on.
I can't wait for this album.
More excited about the tour than about the album but i love the title.
I have my tickets for the Paris show, 2nd row!
