News: Piecing A Potion: The Music of Tori Amos

Alex Ramon, current writer for Wears the Trousers and Pop Matters and erstwhile writer for the fanzine Little Blue World, has posted an epic overview of Tori’s career and oeuvre on his blog, Boycotting Trends. As he says in the introduction to the piece, “with the release of her eagerly anticipated new album, Night of Hunters, imminent, now seems an apt moment to take a wander through Amos’s voluminous catalogue, to (re)assess what’s worked and what hasn’t, and to celebrate some of her achievements, which, frankly, could use a little celebrating these days.” Excellent reading for a Sunday afternoon (with apologies to those on the other side of the International Dateline).

Also, keep an eye on Wears the Trousers as Alex’s review of Night of Hunters should be popping up there sooner or later…
