Tori Amos - Unrepentant Geraldines

After several releases exploring the classical genre, Tori Amos returned to pop and rock music in 2014 with Unrepentant Geraldines, and the homecoming could not have felt more natural. Released on Decca Records, the album strips things back to their most essential elements, with many of the arrangements built around nothing more than Amos's voice and piano. In lesser hands that might feel sparse. Here it feels like everything you need.

The simplicity is deceptive. Amos has always been at her most powerful when the production steps aside and lets the songs breathe on their own terms, and Unrepentant Geraldines is a reminder of just how much those songs can carry. Intimate, warm, and deeply felt, it is an album that rewards the kind of close, unhurried listening that the format of vinyl naturally encourages.

This Deluxe Edition 2LP set adds three tracks appearing on vinyl for the very first time, "Dixie," "White Telephone To God," and "Forest Of Glass," making it the most complete and definitive physical edition of the album available and essential for any serious fan of her work.
