[BATTEREDxBRIDExLUVR!]

hi everyone. i didn't find a thread on this so.

regina is releasing a new album! it's called "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" and was recorded over the summer (and not mentioned at ALL...) but has recently been announced with a May 12, 2012 release date.

and her new single was released today! (click the artwork:)



fans who have listened to her unreleased songs may recognize this. it appeared for the first time in 2005 and disappeared right after, but thanks to tapers, regina stumbled upon a recording of it online last summer after having forgotten that it existed. and now it's the first single on her album. 

there is speculation that, and the title possibly references this, the album may be a collection of old songs that have only existed as live recordings from the early 2000's. in addition to 'all the rowboats,' in the past year regina has also revived oh marcello (not performed since 2002, recordings only surfacing in 2009), small town moon (this didn't exactly die, but disappeared right before her last album in '09), ain't no cover, and pound of flesh (both released on a live ep, but the latter hasn't been around since '06). she also has three new songs she's debuted after Far which are expected on the album: ink stains, ballad of a politician, and firewood.

and to celebrate record store day this year, which regina always does, she's releasing a limited edition vinyl featuring two russian cover songs: the prayer of francois violin, and old jacket.

regina's touring this summer as an opener for tom petty.

aaaand i think that's all. discuss!

[Miss Sahara]

awesome.
i can't wait for the album to be out, especially if it will feature some older songs.
i didn't like "far" that much, to be honest, so i haven't listened to regina in ages and I'm pleasantly surprised to hear a new song that i like. hopefully, she'll tour europe some time soon!

i prefer the Songs 'Ne Me Quitte Pas '

Yeah I really love the new recording of that, I still prefer the old one though.

i know, but you can download if from elsewhere

[Miss Sahara]

only 37 minutes long :-( and i fucking hate new ne me quitte pas. but the rest sounds awesome 

[Mr. Leave Me Alone]

I downloaded it and listened to it last night. It didn't really grab me.

[Cirque]

I actually really love the new record, it's way better than Far in my opinion.
It is too short, that's my only complaint.
I think 'The Party' is the weakest track

[Niels]

The only version I can find is 30mb for the entire album, and that's just not going to sound good. I think I'll wait until a better version comes along.

[CeeGBee]

You mean, like, the one you buy? Where the artist and her people get paid?

If it's any good, I will buy it, yes. I bought most of her other albums as well.

[Bad Kitty]

Not into the new version of 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' at all. Hope the rest of the album is better.

I will buy the record anyway though. Cuz Regina's rad and I love her.
