Tori Amos will release a new album on September 8th. Titled Native Invader, it marks her 15th (!) full-length overall and follow-up to 2014’s Unrepentant Geraldines.
Due out via Decca Records, the LP deals with nature and all its complexities, and humanity’s relationship with nature. The veteran singer-songwriter elaborates in a detailed statement:
“The songs on ‘Native Invader’ are being pushed by the Muses to find different ways of facing unforeseen challenges and in some cases dangerous conflicts. The record looks to Nature and how, through resilience, she heals herself. The songs also wrestle with the question: what is our part in the destruction of our land, as well as ourselves, and in our relationships with each other?
In life there can be the shock of unexpected fires, floods, earthquakes, or any cataclysmic ravager – both on the inside and outside of our minds. Sonically and visually, I wanted to look at how Nature creates with her opposing forces, becoming the ultimate regenerator through her cycles of death and re-birth. Time and time again she is able to renew, can we find this renewal for ourselves?”
Along with the album announcement, Amos has lined up a European tour in support. Dates across North America are forthcoming.
