(patron only)

yes. it is time. it is time for PIANO IS EVIL to be released into the world.

if you're new here, (welcome, i love you), you may have missed that i recorded all the songs from my album Theatre Is Evil stripped down, piano+voice, the way the songs were originally arranged. YOU, my patrons made it possible for me to make that new album, and i shared it with all patrons (even the $1 streaming tier) as patron-only digital download and brought some CDs on the road at the merch table. you can download the original version of the album and read the backstory HERE:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/piano-is-evil-7075312

since then, i re-recorded an EVEN NEWER arrangement to "Lost" (i'm weird...i wasn't satisfied with the first one....read about that here), changed the album art a teeny, tiny bit (it now says my NAME) and switched the order of the track list.

you can download the final version of Piano Is Evil with the new version of "Lost", the updated album artwork and the updated track order HERE:
WAV: https://we.tl/wqOQw1F3os
MP3: https://we.tl/LVPOjdot0b

to get the full story and read words from me and kyle cassidy head on over to the official project page: http://amandapalmer.net/PianoIsEvil

starting today, PIANO IS EVIL can now be shared with everyone and anyone, and with the public release, i'm launching a merch pre-order so you can get the CD, a poster, or bundles of Theatre Is Evil and Piano Is Evil. i'll be signing all the posters, and a limited number of Piano Is Evil CDs (500 each, so if you're one of the first to order, you'll get it SIGNED). 

it's on BANDCAMP, where i prefer you to go....but it'll also be on iTunes, Spotify....

i'm sharing this with patrons first, tomorrow i'll send a news blast out the email list (are you on the email list? get all your bases covered for your afp/brian viglione/dresden dolls news: http://amandapalmer.net/emaillist.

you can pre-order the physical CD now either on its own, or in a bundle with Theatre Is Evil, as well as a limited edition poster signed by me.

AND here's a bonus video clip for you....

photographer kyle cassidy joined me in the church studio while i was recording piano is evil. he shot the cover art photos and he brought along a fancy 360 video camera he had on loan from his library (the future!). here's a clip he took of me recording "The Killing Type", you can toggle all the directions with your mouse and pretend-y you are looking around the room. check it, HERE:

I don't seem to see any album art in the wav or mp3 downloads

Listening to the new version this morning on Google play while cleaning the house! I love the reshuffling, definitely needed with the stripped down nature. New video for Grown Man Cry is also well done. I probably should have read the director's note before my first viewing because at first I was like wtf, but then Macbeth context made more sense. I think I will never be fully satisfied with any video you did of that song because every time I listen to it, it's a montage of my relationship with my college boyfriend and all of our worst fights. I've always meant to thank you specifically for that song when I've gotten to meet you and I forget every time. It helped heal a lot of rough places for me, so thank you.

I love the 360. Such an epic, emotional performer! I bought the original Piano is Evil CD when I saw you in Brighton, but I guess I'll have to buy the new one now! I love a CD. I'm so old-school! I'll listen to the download too though.

On another note. Not a criticism, just an observation... Do you think you would have ended up with the new version of PIE in the first place if you'd given yourself a little more time? Or was there less pressure because of the Patreon? Compared to if you were still with a label I mean? Just curious how you keep changing it. Xx

DID SOMEONE SAY PIE?! I LOVE PIE!! I hope it's pumpkin. I love pumpkin pie! 🤗

This is turning into a beautiful "authorial intent" learning moment and I'm LOVING seeing your music change and evolve and be tweaked.

Hello! Just joined the Patreon after listening to Piano is Evil on Spotify. It was so beautiful... I thought, God, let me pay for this....! I really appreciated the beauty so much that I needed to do something. I have been aware of Patreon from the AP newsletter but I was not ready 100%, now I am and thinking why I didn't do it sooner. Love your work!

I got a text when you first stuck this on bandcamp. My friend said "WOW LOOK AMANDA MADE MUSIC JUST FOR YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY" and I said "cool? Sort of? I've had this record for like six months already?" But it still made me really happy. I love this record. Every version of it. It taught me how to feel.

It would be awesome if any auditions you have are announced here... 😇

I was lucky enough to (unintentionally) get one of the 'anon' copies when you played at the Gaso. It was on high rotation for a while. 😆💜
