Last October Tori Amos announced that her 18th studio album was on the way, that it'd be called In The Times Of Dragons, and that she'd be supporting it with a massive European tour. Today the singer-songwriter has announced its official release date — May 1 — as well as a trek across the US this summer. That's the album's cover art above by Kasia Wozniak.
Amos has described the album's thesis as "a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America," which sounds pretty timely.
