Vienna Teng tour to promote new album
« on: July 15, 2013, 09:12:53 AM »
Just saw this over at AC and thought I would post here, since I know some of you really like her music. If anyone is up for the Oct show in NYC at the Highline Ballroom please let me know.

We just launched pre-orders for the new album:
http://viennateng.bandcamp.com/album/aims

...which now has a title, AIMS, and a cover image: a map of Detroit by data visualization artist Stephen Von Worley. (More on this later.)

USA Today ran a nice feature story on it this morning. I had a fascinating chat with music writer Brian Mansfield for the article; I asked about his recent brush with colon cancer, and we talked quite a bit more about religion and the healing power of observation than your average interview.

You can listen to three songs—The Hymn of Acxiom, Close to Home and In the 99—and read the backstory, lyrics and recording credits for each. Pre-ordering allows you to download them immediately. The Hymn of Acxiom is also available for FREE DOWNLOAD (just put $0 when you "purchase" it).

http://viennateng.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-99

If you want a deluxe copy of the album, head over to the trusty Vienna Teng Merchandise Store to pre-order CD books with full artwork, USB drives with video extras, and other goodies:

If you just want a digital download or a simple eco-packaged CD, http://viennateng.bandcamp.com/album/aims is the way to go.

OR, if you want to HELP FUND A MUSIC VIDEO and other creative album promotion projects, stayed tuned for a Kickstarter campaign—which will include autographed copies of the album among the thank-you gifts!
