Tori Amos will release a deluxe edition of her 2014 album Unrepentant Geraldines later this year. Released with Decca Records, the album was a return to form for Amos. It followed several more classically inspired releases, like Night Of Hunters and Gold Dust. Unrepentant Geraldines was made at Amos’ own Martian Engineering Studios, and was self-produced and mixed by Marcel van Limbeek and her husband Mark Hawley.
Order the deluxe edition of the Tori Amos album Unrepentant Geraldines now.
Unrepentant Geraldines has an intimate, acoustic sound. Many of the songs are just Amos’ vocals and piano. The album was largely inspired by Amos’ passion for visual art. She has name-checked artists like Cézanne, Diane Arbus, and Daniel Maclise (whose painting of a woman named Geraldine is the source of the album’s title). As Amos explains: “I’ve always been inspired by visual artists of all mediums because, as with music, art is not a job you can go to and leave from; it is something that defines who and what you are. Through the visual artist’s application of tone, shape, pattern, and pigment, I not only begin to see, but I can honestly say I begin to hear.”
Ahead of the September 6 release of the deluxe edition, Amos has shared an exclusive track today entitled “Dixie.” There will be two more exclusive tracks included on the release: “White Telephone to God” and “Forest of Glass.” It is the first time these three rarities will be available in vinyl format.
