FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 11, 2026 — Aspen, CO — Tori Amos returns with In Times of Dragons, an expansive and deeply resonant new studio album that transforms political unrest, mythic symbolism, and personal reckoning into one of the most daring works of her career.

Released via Fontana Records, the 17-track album unfolds as both intimate confession and epic meditation, channeling the uncertainty of the modern world through Amos’ singular voice, intricate piano compositions, and vividly cinematic storytelling. Across the record, dragons emerge as recurring figures of seduction, destruction, power, and survival — metaphors woven into songs that confront democracy, identity, grief, resilience, and spiritual endurance.

Written and produced by Amos, In Times of Dragons blends haunting chamber-pop textures with thunderous percussion, harpsichord flourishes, and richly layered arrangements. Longtime collaborators Matt Chamberlain, Jon Evans, and Mark Hawley appear throughout the project, while several tracks feature vocal contributions from Amos’ daughter, Natashya Hawley.

Rather than retreating from the emotional and political volatility of the present moment, Amos leans fully into it, creating an album that is fearless in scope and uncompromising in emotional depth. The result is a work that feels at once ancient and immediate — rooted equally in mythology and lived experience.

A recent essay from Publik / Private praised the album as “a discipline of staying vast,” recognizing Amos’ refusal to shrink creatively or emotionally in response to cultural instability. That spirit permeates the record: In Times of Dragons resists cynicism in favor of imagination, complexity, and transformation.

Songs including “Shush,” “Blue Lotus,” and “23 Peaks” move through landscapes of fury, mourning, transcendence, and renewal, reaffirming Amos’ unparalleled ability to merge the personal with the political, the mystical with the visceral.

More than three decades into her career, Tori Amos continues to redefine the possibilities of contemporary songwriting, crafting music that challenges, consoles, and confronts in equal measure. In Times of Dragons stands as a powerful new chapter in an artistic legacy built on fearless expression and emotional truth.

In Times of Dragons is available now on streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl.
