Amanda Palmer’s third solo LP, There Will Be No Intermission is the multi-faceted artist’s most powerful and personal collection to date, with songs that tackle the big questions: life, death, grief and how we make sense with it all.
Sombre yet exultant, There Will Be No Intermission presents still more dimensions to Amanda Palmer’s already voluminous talent, once again confirming her as a master songwriter at the height of considerable power. This one-of-a-kind artist has miraculously moulded humour, tears, confession, and naked personal pain into a matchless piece of work that could very well have been morose and gloomy but is, instead, deeply relatable, healing and inspiring.
The touring show itself will feature Palmer on solo piano and ukulele, with no band accompaniment; a night of graphic, honest, and funny storytelling with songs that Palmer claims will be her “most human and vulnerable stage-show to date.”
With the release of her much-anticipated second album Historian heading our way on Friday 2 March,Lucy Dacus gives us another taste of what’s to come with her new single ‘Next Of Kin.’ It’s an album stand-out that highlights Lucy’s silky alto, crisp production, and intimate storytelling. “I am at peace with my death / I can go back to bed” she belts, grappling with the ever-conflicting forces of confidence and insecurity — “I will never be complete / I’ll never know anything.”
