Familiar Comfort

A couple weeks back I checked Beth Orton's site to see what she might be up to figuring that she's definitely ridden Daybreaker into the ground (Not that I dont still love every song on it) to find nothing new.

Torr (see December 1) now has two downloads available "In Your Arms" and "Shadow of a Doubt" along with a streamable version of "Conceived" which is apparently the first single from the February 7th album, The Comfort of Strangers. She appears to be moving back towards Trailer Park and Central Reservation with more of a blues or folk band sound to it which makes sense given that Jim O'Rourke of Sonic Youth notoriety is at the production helm. For now I reserve judgement until I can hear the whole thing...but comments on Torr indicate fans will be disappointed. Really great and thanks for the tracks, Torr.
