Ani DiFranco has finalized her 17th album!

Other than a reverb not working on track #9, allegedly, all is done and good on Ani DiFranco‘s 17th full-length album. There is word that it will see the light of day this June, but with Ani DiFranco’s hectic touring schedule, everything could change. There are many new tracks floating around of Ani’s that still need a home in form of an album. They are: “Zoo,” “Promiscuity, “J,” “Life Boat,”Splinter,” “Hearse,” “Albacore Tuna,” “Amendment,” “See,” “Gloaming,” “If You’re Not,” “Wow,” “Smart,” “Mariachi,” “A New Bible” and “Unworry.” Not to forget the cover of “Which Side Are You On?” and the cool but timely “November 4th.” Let’s hope all get on the release. All songs titles are tentative and just our rendering from the tracks we’ve heard.

The campaign for her album Make A Scene is in full affect and this is the single to launch this much-awaited album onto the spotlight. Although she might have lost some fans along the way this looks like a solid return (merely through research and not actually listening to the music that comes with it.)

Exclusive: 5 Questions With Loft965.com: Agnes Obel
1
1. Greetings from Kuwait! Loft965.com picked “Riverside” as a “Sexy Track” of 2011! How do you feel about that and what do you think this year holds for you?
I’m happy to hear this though I never thought that “Riverside” was sexy but maybe something is happening in that song that I’m not quite aware of. I hope this year will hold some new music. I’m on tour at the moment but am anyway trying to write on some new things. Very curious about what will come out of this musically. Also because I dont have a piano with me and therefore have to find other instruments to play with. Never tried this way of working before.
2. We love “Just So.” What will be your next single?
Actually not sure. I think either “Brother Sparrow” or “On Powdered Ground”.
3. There is news on your album Philharmonics being re-released as a deluxe version. Why is that and what are you planning to include in the re-release?
The new release of the album will have some instrumental tracks on it as well as some live recordings from the concert hall in Copenhagen.
4. Your album is getting a lot of critical acclaim. How would you describe it and who were your major influences?
I’m not sure how to answer the first bit but, musically, I think I have been influenced by the music of my childhood which was for the most part the music of Jan Johansson and the childrens songs of Bela Bartok, both piano music my mother played. I still like to listen to this music and even recreate some of the moods I remember from this in my own music.
5. We love quotes, what is your favorite quote or motto?
“There’s cracks in everything that’s why there’s light.”
