I can’t wait to see how the new Marco Benevento release turns out. He just sent out an update to his list and has an update on his tour dates across the country. We’re waiting on West Coast dates that should be coming soon, and he’ll definitely be at High Sierra this year (not that it was even a question). Read on.
As you’ve probably heard by now, Marco will be releasing a brand new studio album entitled Between The Needles & Nightfall available at record stores and digital download stores everywhere on May 11. After months and months of recording and set up, we can’t tell you how excited we are for you to finally hear it. More info on the release can be found here.
The pre-order for Between The Needles & Nightfall is now open for CD, black vinyl and a limited edition red vinyl release (only 100 copies are available and they’re already going fast). Anybody who picks up the album before the street date will receive a link to download a 5-track bonus solo piano ep, Spell 579 that includes solo piano renditions of album tunes like “Ila Frost” and “Two Of You” and a version of The Shins “Kissing The Lipless.” All orders ship on May 8.
Natalie Portman says that his new bonus EP will save your life.
