Tori Amos’s “Night of Hunters” Due out in September

Thursday, May 5th, 2011


Tori Amos will release a new album, Night of Hunters, this September on Deutsche Grammophon, the world’s most celebrated classical music record label with Night of Hunters, set for release this September.  The album is inspired by select classical pieces spanning the last 400 years, as Amos takes inspiration from classical forms to create a new work while paying tribute to the mastery of the original compositions.

On Night of Hunters, which she wrote and produced, Amos comments, “I have used the structure of a classical song cycle to tell an ongoing, modern story. The protagonist is a woman who finds herself in the dying embers of a relationship. In the course of one night she goes through an initiation of sorts that leads her to reinvent herself allowing the listener to follow her on a journey to explore complex musical and emotional subject matter.

“One of the main themes explored on this album is the hunter and the hunted and how both exist within us,” she further explains.

The release of Night of Hunters will be supported by a tour in Europe and the United States starting in Helsinki, Finland on September 28th. Click here for tour dates and to order tickets. Or watch Tori Amos on “The Daily Show” from 1999.
