Beth Orton is due to release her new album ‘Sugaring Season‘ on October 2 via Anti- Records. This will her first release in six years. Get a taster of what’s to come with the opening track ‘Magpie’ below:
The album was produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists). Anti- are pitching the album as a daring synthesis of her broad musical influences into a powerfully individual artistic vision. Beth had this to say about the release:
“I stretched myself as a singer on this record and used voices I never have before as a writer,” she explains. “A lot of the writing on this record happened in the dead of night, when spiders mend their webs, with an infant asleep in the next room… as a result, my writing became a secret again: illicit and my own.”
There are some well known an new band members for this release including: keyboardist Rob Burger, bassist Sebastian Steinberg, and legendary jazz drummer Brian Blade, along with guitarists Marc Ribot and Ted Barnes and folksinger Sam Amidon.
Last month Beth gave the world a peak at the video for ‘Something more Beautiful’ which you can watch below:
