unfortunately, i didn't have time to buy it, but i was able to read the tiny little article zooey had on vanessa when i was in barnes & nobles today.
zooey reported that the album would premiere january 2011, that vanessa's been recording in an old mill in the english countryside, that she's worked with peter gabriel, and that steve osborne is either producing or helping her produce it (my memory fails just about here). there was also another mention of the children's choir in abbey road studios. vanessa also said something along the lines of the album being influenced by the "haunted english countryside."
