It's a mix of old and new, most of which I've heard before, usually in poorly recorded live tracks so it'll be great to have them as studio recordings. 'Lonseome Organist' and 'Pretty In Pink' (yes, the Psychedelic Furs song) were released a couple of years ago and are available for download and both are excellent.
As well as the new record, they're publishing another book, 'The Virginia Companion'. Amanda says,
The Virginia Companion is a 350-page BEAST is about as big as a fucking phone book and includes zillions of never-seen photos that Brian and I lovingly chose from the archives of the past few years. I also write (as I did in the last book) about the process of recording the record, the stories behind the songs and the story behind the artwork including a TON of art submissions for the record that weren't used in the final packaging. There is an entire gallery devoted to the beautiful album-inspired artwork of Barnaby Whitfield (the pastel-artist and painter who created the masterpiece for the cover of the Paradise DVD and our Good Day 7"), tons of alternate album covers we were toying with, Haikus, a little section written by Brian, live photos, scribblings and bibblings and other flotsam and jetsam to make sure you never go hungry for dresden dolls trivia again.
Don't you just love Amanda? And you just have to admire her ethics, ably demonstrated by her latest tee shirt...
