I'd not heard that Annie Lennox cover before and it has just had me blubbering into my porridge.
Love the new Cassandra track too. Interested to see where this goes.

You've all clocked the UK/Europe tour? Tickets went on sale this morning at 1000 and I had tickets before 1001!

thank you - I had somehow missed any announcements but got tickets for London after that post

Oh, good. One of those events I didn't want to flag until I had tickets!
Been playing various sessions and live shows of hers on YouTube and her band line-ups seem ... restless! (In an endearing, creative way).

she's playing a free show here in Toronto next month, not sure if she'll be solo since it's free and all or if she'll be backed but either way, thrilled

Really good at Rough Trade last night - with (I am assured) local musicians rather than the regular band. Three new songs (Aurora, Petco, Clams Casino) dome solo+ electric guitar, then joined by the band for a mix of the first five from Overview of Phenomenal Nature plus Only One and Delphinium Blue. Apparently Delphinium Blue is being "released" today?
I've been in two minds about Only One for a couple of weeks but seeing it live made it make more sense to me, I couldn't tell you why.

Delphinium Blue is out, AOTY incoming

quite good! feels like it could be on last year's caroline polachek album

Delphinium Blue is good, kinda Lynchy, lightly trip-hoppy. I like the vibe.

these are going in one ear and out the other, but I enjoy them all the same
looking forward to the album!

I've really enjoyed "Delphinium Blue" tonight. Find it hard to imagine that I could like the album as much as "An Overview ..." which (for reasons I've never really fathomed) meant the world to me during the pandemic or thereabouts.

yup, I love An Overview more than almost any album from the last few years and it was under my skin in mysterious ways - but I'd also always thought 'this might be a real one-off of where I am and what she's made, but that is totally cool and I am purely grateful'. But I'm really liking this so far and am very open for this one.
Like I'm weirdly ready to be disappointed but she doesn't - as I found upthread -
Just saw her live at End of the Road festival. I love this album - my favourite of the last year or two - & was a little worried that it wouldn't really translate (particularly to a festival stage) but, no, she was amazing, easily the best thing I saw.
