Hello loves.

Greetings from Woodstock, NY, where I am collapsed in a heap from four dolls shows. 

We killllled.

If you were THERE, holler below, I'm reading (and tired).

This is the first  of a few (streaming) piano-only demo I'm sending to you - my beloved patrons - to share with you how the new dolls record is slowly taking shape.

Here's the link to listen - streaming - on Soundcloud:

Song Engineered and mixed by Pete Caigan at Utopia Studios Bearsville.

......

Please don't share any of this shit on the internet. If you want to read a little more, and get the actual download code, I sent that to $3+ patrons, just now, here.

.......

Drip-releasing these piano demos is also helping us fund the record, as it's a slow - and expensive - process. It also feels quite electric and fulfilling to finally unleash these new songs - even in fetal form - to your ears. The NYC people will tell you: the songs sound pretty amazing with the drums. We're werkin' on them.

All of the titles are working titles. I am not including the lyrics by design. (The lyrics of this demo have already changed slightly since I recorded it a few weeks ago).

......

The New York Shows reminded me: my band is a force of nature.

We DO A THING.

Thank you for being my patrons, for holding my band steady, and for listening.

I love .... all of you.

Let me know what you think.

I know, at the very least, thhat Angel loves this one.

....

P.S. Portland (Dec 28 and 29th)is all SOLD OUT, but there are still tickets for LA (Dec 8th), San Diego (Dec 9th), and Berkeley on New Years Eve.

We will be playing all this new material at most of the shows. Tickets here: https://dresdendolls.com/

The initial chords sent waves of pain and pleasure through me.. keep creating the extraordinary soundscapes that echo the pain in my life. Beauty 💜

Amanda, this song is so fucking beautiful and I love it already. I can’t wait to share this with my friends later when it’s officially released. 💜 I’m not quite sure what I expected Houdini to be about but this is beyond any expectations. Sending love early this morning to everyone 💕

Oh man I love the song 🖤 cant wait to hear the new work with the band. You have got a lot to answer for! I'm recording my 3rd album now and I'm screaming and wailing into the mic, taking the pauses when I need to, pushing that emotion... and you have an awful lot to do with inspiring my technique and song form over the last few years.... thank you xxx

This was the song I’ve been waiting for you to release since 2020. I felt every sentence and every chord of that song vibrating through my soul and bouncing back to yours with empathy and love. I love you and your breathtaking music Amanda. 🖤

So powerful and touching... Have been following you (& Brian) since hearing you on the radio in a car driving through Berlin at the age of probably 13 searching you down by some splinters of lyrics, doing presentations at boarding school (for classical music as a violinist) about my favourite band innocently playing Coin Operated Boy or translating the booklet of Who Killed Amanda Palmer ;) , later seeing you live while studying in NYC and Copenhagen (before COVID hit & left me stranded in Sweden). These new songs are probably among my favourites... Thank you.
