It’s always a huge event when you get to hear “Kate Bush is releasing new material.” Today’s our lucky day: the notoriously reclusive and shy experimental singer-songwriter has compiled her 2014 22-date live performances at the iconic Hammersmith Apollo in London (in which she famously enforced a zero-phone policy at the door) into a three-part live album. Hallelujah! Excellent news for fans who were unable to make it to her rare live performances that summer.
The album is divided into three parts: the first part with her greatest hits, the second a suite with tracks from her album Hounds of Love, and a third part with tracks from her album Aerial.
Before the Dawn will be available as an ambitious three-disc CD or 4-disc vinyl bundle and is out November 25. Listen to the “Prologue,” taken from part 3, below.
