After revealing last October that she has a new album on the way, Tori Amos has announced In Times of Dragon, which is set for release on May 1 via Universal/Fontana. It marks the singer-songwriter’s 18th album, following 2021’s Ocean to Ocean and last year’s soundtrack to her children’s book Tori and the Muses. Amos has also announced a US summer tour; check out her itinerary below.
“In Times of Dragons is 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,” Amos said in a press release.
For the newly unveiled cover artwork, photographer Kasia Wozniak worked with direct paper positives using the RA-4 process, shooting everything on a large-format camera. “Each photograph was slowly composed, photographed, and processed,” Wozniak commented. “It felt magical to weave Tori’s work and vision with my own. We moved from photograph to photograph with an intuitive rhythm, aligned in every shot. The process became a kind of ritual.”
Amos added: “To work with Kasia and Stylist Karen Binns to bring the story and characters to life was a truly moving experience. Seeing our collaborations come to life, with them and the whole team will live with me forever.”
