“I seem extroverted but I’m incredibly introverted,” Tori Amos says in an articulate whisper. She’s sitting in a light-filled Tribeca apartment explaining why, after a life spent performing, it was a thoroughly nerve-racking experience recording her new album, Gold Dust (due October 2nd). The album – Amos’ second foray into classical music, following 2011’s Night of Hunters – reads like a scrapbook of her career, comprising old favorites reworked with orchestration from the Metropole Orchestra.
It wasn’t revisiting her discography so much as the orchestra itself that intimidated Amos during the album’s recording, which saw her tracking her vocals in front of the nearly 60-piece Dutch orchestra (whom Amos first performed live with in 2010) and personnel from her label (Deutsche Grammophon). “I sing about some of these very intimate moments in my life, and a lot of them written before I got married to Mark [Hawley, also her sound engineer], and he’s there and everyone knows,” she says. “It was walking into a room full of people and baring your most intimate thoughts to after barely saying hello.”
This is the 4th album by rock band Three Days Grace. It is produced by Don Gilmore and will be released on RCA Records. On June 5th, the band announced in a video on their official website that the album would be titled Transit of Venus and will be released on October 5th, 2012. The first single, “Chalk Outline”, will be available on August 14th. The album will be available for preorder on the same day.

“We are defined by the fact that we can’t be defined by anybody,” says Matt Bellamy, the singer-guitarist-pianist of Muse, as he runs down the range and nerve of the British trio’s new album, The 2nd Law, out in October. “There are electro-pop sounds and songs that are obviously classic rock,” Bellamy notes, referring to the machine-funk nightmares “Madness” and “Panic Station” and, in the latter category, “Big Freeze” and his lead-guitar blowup in “Animals.”
“Then there are the orchestral things,” he adds over lunch in New York: the strings-choir-and-metal “Survival,” already a hit as an official Olympic theme song, and the symphonic chaos of the two-part title suite. The 2nd Law would sound like “three different bands,” Bellamy contends, “if it wasn’t for my voice.”

At what age does your feminist anger stop being qualified as “riot grrrl rage”? Kill My Blues,the Corin Tucker Band’s sophomore album, is being heralded as the former Sleater-Kinney bandleader’s default to her ’91 Olympia factory settings. This is a fantastic prospect surely stoking our 1990s nostalgia and wiping the weird taste of her previous album off our palates, but it doesn’t quite hold.
Tucker is now a grown-azz, 39-year-old woman, and on Kill My Blues she tackles topics that weren’t on her riot girl radar at 20: mortality, the joy of conception, how she could use a vacation. She is singing from the perspective of her life as the mother of two kids who’s maybe a little wistful for days when her life was a little more carefree and Joey Ramone was still above ground. Her rage is no more than that of any American who’s paying attention in 2012.
Letters From the Fire will release their new EP, ‘Rebirth‘, on September 18th
