Amanda Palmer reveals new “discovery” Evelyn, Evelyn
Amanda Palmer is about to unleash a new music project to the unsuspecting masses.
The Dresden Dolls leader is known for frequent forays into the weird and fantastical so it comes as no surprise that this latest product of her imagination is as far from the ordinary as possible.
Amanda Palmer, together with Jason Webley, has allegedly discovered a new act called Evelyn Evelyn, which is a musical duo composed of conjoined twins. The people behind Evelyn Evelyn even released a short bio about the twins that is so far out that it is obviously made up. The speculation is that the “twins” will actually be Palmer and Webley playing together. I won’t be surprised if they actually go on stage in disguises and selling the “conjoined twins” story by actually being joined together.
The Evelyn Evelyn self titled debut album will be released on March 30 through Eleven Records. Among the highlights of the album are a ukulele cover version of Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart. The guests in the album are also quite noteworthy: Tegan and Sara, Andrew WK, Weird Al Yankovic, Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance and even Palmer’s fiance author Neil Gaiman. But probably the guest that will surely turn heads is Frances Bean Cobain. This could probably be her first official music “appearance”.
