The voice of the Dresden Dolls presents her debut solo album, "Who Killed Amanda Palmer". Titled after a Twin Peaks reference that has "come to mean new things," according to Palmer. The album opens the listener in to a whole new world of Amanda's. a world that is sonically polished with the production of Ben Folds, who also introduced Palmer to his trusted and critically-acclaimed string arranger Paul Buckmaster, who supplied gorgeous string and orchestral arrangements for four songs on the record. From the sweeping orchestral opener "Astronaut" to the wild choruses of "Leeds United" to the sinister pop of "Melissa Mahoney," each song peels back multi-faceted layers of Amanda Palmer, revealing an unbelievably talented woman at the core. The quality of the album is extended out into the stunning digipack that houses Amanda's debut. A debut that will be supported by a run of UK headline dates. Despite "Leeds Utd" (shot in the UK) being the focus track/video, Amanda has recorded a series of 6 music videos with director Michael Pope. A series which beautiful express the melancholic and maturity of the album.
I love this CD!!! I love Amanda Palmer. I do not know why I haven't found her before now. But, now that I have, I am completely enamored of her music. It's music for the soul, for grown ups. It's music for people who have had their hearts torn out of their chests and shredded, and then put themselves back together again. It's music for the children in us who were abused and tortured and survived. It's music for the romantics in us who grew up. It's music for the sarcastic bitches in us who tormented our teenage alter egos, and made bad choices, and we got our hearts broken, sometimes by friends, and we made more bad choices, and sometimes good choices, or watched our friends and families make bad choices, and then sat back and watched the fallout, and then when we were old enough we escaped as fast as we could run and as far as our legs could carry us, and we healed. And, we grew. And, we learned, and we loved. And, we grew up. And, we learned how to love ourselves. And, then we learned how to truly love. And then we truly healed.
