\"Kate<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I am listening to the new Kate Bush<\/a> single, King of the Mountain<\/a>\"\". This is very exciting because her last album came out in 1993 — clearly bands like Nine Inch Nails<\/a> are mere amateurs as far as releasing long-awaited albums is concerned. So Aerial<\/cite> will be her next album, released later this year, and the first since The Red Shoes<\/cite> 12 years ago. As if to make up for the long wait, Aerial<\/cite> will be a double CD.<\/p>\n

King of the Mountain<\/cite> is a beautiful, atmospheric song. It has a slow yet jaunty rhythm, and not too much of the ’70s prog rock influence that occasionally mars her music. Actually, the rhythm has a strange slow calypso feel to it. And her plaintive voice is as unique as ever.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> You lucky Americans can get King of the Mountain<\/cite> at the iTunes Music Store: \"King<\/a><\/p>\n

It just occurs to me that King of the Mountain<\/cite> is what you become after you’ve finished Running Up That Hill<\/cite>. An echo of an earlier era in Kate’s music? Or just coincidence? Only time, and hours of painstaking lyrical over-analysis, will tell.<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling flush, you can order the special Japanese CD plus DVD release of Aerial<\/cite> at Amazon.com<\/a>. It’s due to be released on 1 November and may well have some extra goodies, as Japanese releases often do. For everyone else, the plain old Aerial double CD<\/a> comes out later in November. Expect more from me on this subject in a month or so.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
