Beth Orton’s new album, Comfort of Strangers will be released on February 7th, 2006 on Astralwerks.
Recorded over two weeks, Comfort of Strangers, Beth’s fourth album, was recorded at New York’s Sear Sound studio in the spring of 2005. Famed composer Jim O’Rourke (of Sonic Youth fame) takes a production credit on this 14 track release, previously having worked his magic on recordings by such diverse groups and artists as Wilco and Stereolab.
