Hello !
This will be brief and worth your while, I promise. Exciting things are afoot.
We just launched pre-orders for the new album—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 andIn 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).
NOTE: if you want a deluxe copy, 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, Bandcamp is the way to go.
OR, if you want to help fund a music video and other creative album promotion projects, stay tuned for a Kickstarter campaign—which will include autographed copies of the album among the thank-you gifts!
CATCH TWO SHOWS THIS WEEK ON CONCERT WINDOW
The summer solo tour is off to a lovely start: the rooms in Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Burlington were packed with loving crowds, Alex and I have been making up new arrangements on the spot, and we even have a special guest singing a duet with me on Landsailor.
The shows this Friday and Sunday will be live webcast on Concert Window, so tune in if you can't make it in person!
Friday 12 July @ 8:00 PM EDT: Live in Natick, MA
Sunday 14 July @ 7:00 PM EDT: Live in Londonderry, NH
(PS：相关消息见此贴：http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2434553157)

Also, this just in: I'll be performing some of the new songs on the live radio show Mountain Stage on Sunday July 21 (the show will be broadcast later this summer). West Virginians, come on out!

附新歌歌词：
Close To Home
--------------------------------------------------------------------
lay your head where they hold
hide the demarcations of your soul
and play your silent scream role
harmonize your own worth to what you’re shown
normalized and nowhere close to home
claim the truth that gets lost
in the miles of memory and open folds
so change these rules and let’s cross
all the sacred boundaries we’ve overgrown
build a brave new foundry close to home
here’s unbroken bone
it’s a psalm from the book of lies
language you don’t recognize as part of your own
leave that alone
leave that alone
this is the taste you were forever chasing
there is no way to contain it when it comes when it comes to set you off
accept the shame on some shaky basis
admit that you were mistaken about it about it after all
but oh the ache the fantasy forsaken
the alien and adjacent you would give anything to take off
this is the claim that you’ll keep on making
this is the point of the breaking here it comes here it comes to set you off
we won’t be sold
any song from your book of lies
language we don’t recognize as part of our own
leave us alone
leave us alone
pay them all to sign on
diagnose some fault line most will know
and raise your life a new dawn
tyrant of your cells now overthrown
never have you felt so close to home

In the 99
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
am I
am I
am I the one to praise?
collide with faces veiled in paper
reading line by line the pain there
but for the grace of code and capital
we’d cry out side by side
so why
oh why
why am I the one to praise?
calculate the Ponzi pension to avoid
unintended consequences of a choice
now am I so confident I am the one
earning every pretty sum and deserving every toy
am I selling broken bonds or innovation
someone’s yelling get a job out of a Lincoln
but the human microphone will find a voice
and a change is gonna come, said the signal to the—
remind me in my western chamber
what this plan’s designed to save here
I haven’t come to say I’m sorry
but I swear I’m on your side
oh I
oh I
I am not the one who preys
betting on the best semesters you can buy
digging out of debt, sequestered, unemployed
underwater empty nesters in a slum
television for the bums, helicopter for the boys
marketplace of multi-culti competition
building out the fossil fracking operation
careful of a bird blacker than a swan
‘cause a change is gonna come, said the signal to the noise
were you never in the 99?
you are ever in the 99
we are ever in the 99
we are ever in the 99
am I
am I
am I the one to praise?
collide with faces veiled in paper
reading line by line the pain there
I haven’t come to say I’m sorry
but I swear I’m on your side
we are ever in the 99

The Hymn of Acxion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
somebody hears you. you know that. you know that.
somebody hears you. you know that inside.
someone is learning the colors of all your moods, to
(say just the right thing and) show that you’re understood.
here you’re known.
leave your life open. you don’t have. you don’t have.
leave your life open. you don’t have to hide.
someone is gathering every crumb you drop, these
(mindless decisions and) moments you long forgot.
keep them all.
let our formulas find your soul.
we’ll divine your artesian source (in your mind),
marshal feed and force (our machines will)
to design you a perfect love—
or (better still) a perfect lust.
o how glorious, glorious: a brand new need is born.
now we possess you. you’ll own that. you’ll own that.
now we possess you. you’ll own that in time.
now we will build you an endlessly upward world,
(reach in your pocket) embrace you for all you’re worth.
is that wrong?
isn’t this what you want?
amen.
