Subject: *** Boys For Pele ***


Boys For Pele will be the name of Tori's new album. "Pele is a Volcano
goddess," explains Tori. "It's about balancing destruction and creation.
That's how I see it, the balance and the out of balance, the passion
and the calmness, the laughter with the anger." Much of the album
was inspired by her relationships with men.

The album was recorded in an old church in Delgany, Ireland, with
additional recording in Cork, Ireland and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Tori handled production work with Marcel Van Limbeek and Mark Hawley
as engineers. She continues to push for new sounds on this album,
with harpsichords leading the way for lots of new sounds. "Things
have been very incubative," says Tori.

Cindy Palmano will once again lend her distinctive visuals to Tori's
latest work. Tori took some time in October to meet Cindy for a photo
shoot in Louisiana.

With only final track selections remaining, the album should be complete
by the time you read this [in print]. The tentative release schedule calls
for the first single from the new album to hit radio in mid to late
December. The first single in the US will be "Caught In a Lite Sneeze,"
which should arrive on January 2nd.   A UK single will be released at
the same time.

The new album is scheduled to be in stores on January 22nd in the UK
and 23rd in the US. A concert tour will start on February 23rd in the
UK and then over to the US after Easter.

Press for the new album should be intense. Watch for February or March
cover articles in SPIN and Musician, as well as big articles in Details
and The New York Times, just for starters. Tori will also make visit
major cities in the US near the end of January to do radio and
television appearances.
