On March 8, Amanda “Fucking” Palmer (previously) will release There Will Be No Intermission, her third studio album and the first release in six long years: it’s an ambitious 71 minutes long, and the whole thing is streaming as a preview on NPR’s First Listen.
I recommend starting with “Judy Blume” for sheer tear-jerking, and the two long confessionals, “The Ride” and “A Mother’s Confession.”
Palmer’s touring with the album, with dates across the USA and Europe; the purchase packages include gatefold vinyl, an elaborate accompanying book, and all the usuals.
