By my precise count, it's been exactly five years, seven months and four days since Tori Amost released her last album, 2011's classical-dabbling Night Of Hunters. Perfect time for a comeback, wouldn't you say? Borrowing a page from the Peter Gabriel book, Tori has just announced the release of Gold Dust (out this October, date TBA), a collection of orchestral re-workings of Tori Amos classics spanning her entire career.
"My relationship with all of these songs has changed over the years and they have changed my life," explained Tori in the official announcement. "So it wasn’t just about capturing the past it was about realizing that the songs had a new narrative now – 10 or 20 years later than they did when I originally recorded them."
Details are still a little scarce, but the album is being produced by her long-time collaborator John Philip Shenale and will feature accompaniment by the Netherlands' Metropole Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley.
If "Yes Anastasia" isn't on this album, I'm going to throw myself out of an ivory tower.
