Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line will release their album Carnival on April 16.

“When you go to a carnival, you go into a sideshow tent, and on every stage you find a different person with a different story,” says Nora Jane Struthers. “That’s why I’m trying to do with this album – craft vignettes, and in some cases more developed narratives, about imaginary people’s lives.” Struthers’ album Carnival, which will be issued on the singer-songwriter’s own label on April 16th, is an ambitious and literate follow-up to the Nashville performer’s much-praised 2010 solo debut.

Produced by Brent Truitt (Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Dixie Chicks), who also helmed Struthers’ self-titled bow, Carnival comprises 14 fresh original compositions in her “Classic Americana” vein that richly show off her skills as a sensitive and intelligent tune-weaver and a warm and persuasive vocalist. Recorded at Truitt’s East Nashville studio, the album marks the recording debut of Struthers’ touring band the Party Line. The gifted group of instrumentalists includes Struthers’ longtime collaborator P. J. George, Joe Overton, Aaron Jonah Lewis and Drew Lawhorn.

The Knife Release Video for "A Tooth For An Eye"

 

The Knife released a video for their track "A Tooth For An Eye" last week.  The track, available today, is from their upcoming album Shaking The Habitual which is scheduled for release on April 9.  The video was directed by Roxy Farhat and Kakan Hermansson.  Check it out below.

“A Tooth For An Eye” deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership, Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior?

 In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography.

Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy and a sense of freedom; there is no prestige in their performance.
