Amanda Palmer announces conjoined twins album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 5 February 2010
Dresden Dolls frontwoman Amanda Palmer has announced the debut album from Evelyn Evelyn, her side-project with accordion player Jason Webley and, so they say, conjoined twins Evelyn and Evelyn Neville. In fact, Palmer and Webley list themselves as just producers on the album, having apparently discovered the twins in 2007, after which they released their debut EP, ‘Elephant Elephant’.
Now, I’m not saying that’s not all completely true, but Evelyn and Evelyn’s voices do sound suspiciously like those of Palmer and Webley, and the supposed photographs of the twins look like they were taken quite a long time before 1985, when they are said to have been born. But, hey, what do I know? The twins have their own Twitter account. And who ever heard of a fake twitter account?
Anyway, the big news is that the album features the recording debut of Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, of course. She sings as part of a gang, along with Weird Al Yankovic, Tegan And Sara, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, writer Neil Gaiman and more, on a song called ‘My Space’.
You can fill your ears with that when the project’s eponymous debut album is released on 30 Mar. Plus, you’ll also be able to catch the twins live when they embark on a European tour in April, which will include a headline show at Koko in Camden and a three night residency at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush.
