A Book of Songs for Anne Marie

VINYL FORMAT. While the last album was lit with the production fire of Will Oldham and Matt Sweeney producing, A Book of Songs for Anne Marie glows softly with the calming presence of Maxim Moston (arranger of some standing and part of Antony and the Johnsons' touring band). In essence, this album is a prequel to Safe Inside the Day. The songs here were released in a different set of recordings and in a limited-edition book form (150 copies!) on David Tibet's Durtro label back in 2004. For most listeners, this is its first outing.
