Kate Bush Returns with New Album in November
Amy Phillips reports:
Heeeathcliff! It’s me, Kate Bush! I’ve come home! At long last, the mysterious, possibly magical, and probably mental singer-songwriter has emerged from hibernation, and will be unveiling a brand new double album, Aerial, on EMI records on November 7 in Europe and November 8 in America. Her first record since 1993’s The Red Shoes, it will be preceded by the single “King of the Mountain” on October 24. No further info is available right now, other than the knowledge that Bush produced the album herself, but we’ll keep you posted like a mailbox.
But why should I care about Kate Bush, asks you, Mr./Ms. Snarky Hipster? Well, other than the facts that she was often photographed in elaborate headdresses and knee-high boots, collaborated with Prince and pretty much invented Tori Amos, she also wrote some of the craziest, fiercest, scariest, loveliest, most delicate and whimsical music of the past three decades. And she’s been experiencing a renaissance of sorts lately: both the Futureheads and the Decemberists have covered her songs (“Hounds of Love” and “Wuthering Heights”, respectively), and that Gang Gang Dance album sure sounded a bit Bushy. So don’t front. You know you love her.
