Amanda Palmer Strung Out In Heaven: A Bowie String Quartet Tribute
Album stream ,

I'm truly blown away. Amanda Palmer and Jherek Bischoff have just released one of the best Bowie tributes ever feat. Anna Calvi and Neil Gaiman.

The tribute EP features new songs like "Blackstar" as well as the classic "Hero". The string work was arranged by Bischoff (with whom I've had the honor to talk to during an Amanda Palmer tour a few years ago - really nice guy! Check out his great music!)

This entire project was financed by the supporters at Patreon. The minimum price here is $1 - $.54 of which will go to Bowie's publisher for the use of the songs. The remaining proceeds from the first month of sales (until March 5th) will go to the cancer research wing of Tufts Medical Center, in memory of David Bowie.

Jherek recorded the strings in LA at Hyperion Sound / ELBO studios engineered by Chris Fogel (engineer) and Bryan Carrigan (Asst. engineer).

Anna Calvi (guest vocal and guitar on Blackstar) recorded in London at Bruce Grove Studios engineered by Alex Thomas.

Palmer recorded vocals in Santa Fe, NM, at The Kitchen Sink, engineered by Jono Manson. Jono added the acoustic guitar on "Space Oddity".

John Cameron Mitchell sang his back-ups in his apartment in New York into his iPhone.

Jherek mixed and mastered the entire record at home in LA.

Strung Out In Heaven: A Bowie String Quartet Tribute will be released on Feb 05, 2016. It will be released via . Stream it courtesy of Bandcamp.

Purple Rain (Prince cover)
Ugh, Amanda Palmer and Jherek Bischoff have once more teamed up to hit you right in the stomach. This time they string-quartet Prince's "Purple Rain".

Machete
Here's Amanda Palmer's first original song since...ages, I guess. Four years maybe? It's called "Machete" and was recorded with her fellow musicians Jherek Bischoff and Ben Folds.
