Description

Part 2 of the "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" video series, the music video for "Astronaut" From the debut solo album "Who Killed Amanda Palmer", produced by Be. .

Who Killed Amanda Palmer is the first solo album by American musical artist Amanda Palmer. The album was largely recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, with collaborator Ben Folds and was released on Roadrunner Records (also home to The Dresden Dolls). The name of the album is a reference to the series Twin Peaks, which revolves around events surrounding the death of Laura Palmer. Certain tracks also featured Folds on percussion and keyboards and former Rasputina member Zoë Keating on cello.

The Point of it All 1. dave doran I love this album, raw, immediate and beautiful with the kind of power that draws me back over and over to listen. Cheap theatrics, a bit of humor and clear clean sincerity. eforenigma I just bought this as a part of my goal of obtaining every song Amanda Palmer has ever written before I turn 21 and therefor feel I must be a bit more responsible with my money and act like an adult.

Directed by Michael Pope Produced by BriAnna Olson & MediaVox.

Album · 2008 · 12 Songs. Many of the tracks from Who Killed Amanda Palmer have been set to video and although they don’t tell one cohesive story, they work together as separate pieces connected by threads of theme (misfits, obsession, death, sex & love). More than half the songs are spare, powerful ballads, while on other tracks Palmer’s furious piano attacks and bursts of staccato drums, keyboards, strings and occasional guitars are full of dark energy. Ben Folds is here as producer and collaborator, and the end product is evidence of two great minds coming together in spectacular, full color fireworks.
