I had a wonderful, inspirational English teacher called Mrs Simpson. She introduced me to the English Romantics. I had to leave it all behind in order to be a pop singer, but I never forgot them." A couple of the tracks were debuted at the Chloe show during Paris Fashion week back in March, where she recorded verse by Louisa May Alcott, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Christina Rossetti, William Butler Yeats and Byron.

Tape Op Podcast: Brian Eno
The folks at Tape Op Magazine have put up an interview with Brian Eno to kick off their podcast series. The interview was conducted in 2011.
This interview with Brian Eno was not originally intended to be made available for listening. It has been cleaned up and lightly edited, but has some external and peripheral sounds including some cell phone interference, chairs banging around and jack hammering street repairs! In the spirit of Eno himself, these "ambient" additions were left in for interview continuity. Eno and Peter Chilver's regenerative music app "Bloom" was used for the bed behind the interview.

Brian Eno: new ambient album "Reflection"
photo: Shamil Tanna
Brian Eno will release Reflection, a new ambient album on January 1, 2017 via Warp (2LP, CD and digital). It's one long piece (54 minutes). Eno on this new release:
Reflection is the latest work in a long series. It started (as far as record releases are concerned) with Discreet Music in 1975 ( - or did it start with the first Fripp and Eno album in 1973? Or did it start with the first original piece of music I ever made, at Ipswich Art School in 1965 - recordings of a metal lampshade slowed down to half and quarter speed, all overlaid?)
Anyway, it’s the music that I later called ‘Ambient’. I don’t think I understand what that term stands for anymore - it seems to have swollen to accommodate some quite unexpected bedfellows - but I still use it to distinguish it from pieces of music that have fixed duration and rhythmically connected, locked together elements.

Brian Eno: new album "The Ship" 04/29
photo: Shamil Tanna
Brian Eno will release The Ship, his first new solo album since Lux (2012), on April 29 via Warp. The album contains two long tracks: The Ship and the three-part Fickle Sun: (i) Fickle Sun; (ii) The Hour is Thin; (iii) I'm Set Free (a Velvet Underground cover). Eno on this new release:
Humankind seems to teeter between hubris and paranoia: the hubris of our ever-growing power contrasts with the paranoia that we’re permanently and increasingly under threat. At the zenith we realise we have to come down again... we know that we have more than we deserve or can defend, so we become nervous. Somebody, something is going to take it all from us: that is the dread of the wealthy. Paranoia leads to defensiveness, and we all end up in the trenches facing each other across the mud.
On a musical level, I wanted to make a record of songs that didn’t rely on the normal underpinnings of rhythmic structure and chord progressions but which allowed voices to exist in their own space and time, like events in a landscape. I wanted to place sonic events in a free, open space.
