Philadelphia's adorable late-night freak-folk crooner Annie Sachs, a.k.a. Tickley Feather, a.k.a. Animal Collective's BFF 4 life, follows up her eponymous debut next month with Hors d’oeuvres. The album promises to be a little more accessible (supposedly) and joyful album, as Sachs recently moved back to her old homestead of Virginia to embrace her roots and her "Southern Gothic meets Existential Hillbilly vibe." That doesn't exactly sound like more "accessible" work, so I'm looking forward to additional psychotic weirdness and looking glass journeys via 4-track recorder that Tickley's already established.
Hors d’oeuvres comes out October 19 via Paw Tracks.
Tracklisting:
1. Muscles
2. Sure Relaxing
3. Don’t Call, Marylin
4. Buzzy
5. Trashy Boys
6. Not A Drum
7. Roses Of Romance
8. Fly Like An Eagle
9. Club Rhythm 96 & Cell Phone
10. Tickley Plays Guitar
To get the masses stoked on the new jam hive, Feather's got two dates stateside, including a performance with HEALTH in Philadelphia and a show as part of the Paw Tracks showcase at this year's CMJ Music Marathon in New York. After that, it's off to lands who mostly speak in languages of a Germanic language (that does include English, though)
