Tanya Donelly & Chris Brokaw detail medieval folk music EP, announce more tour dates (hear a track)

Tanya Donelly (Belly, The Breeders, Throwing Muses) and Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine) have shared details of their collaborative EP of interpretations of traditional medieval folk music, sung in Latin and Middle English. The EP is titled The Undone is Done Again and will be out April 17 via Fire Records.

“Having always been a big fan of all of Chris Brokaw’s music, bands, and projects, I asked him if we might team up to play a song or two for our mutual friend Hilken Mancini’s annual holiday event last year,” Tanya says. “He had the unusual and very cool idea to perform a medieval carol, in Latin, something far outside of anything I’d done before.”

Chris adds, “I’d been listening to the Norwegian vocal group Medieval Trio and kind of on a lark suggested that we perform a medieval Christmas piece. I felt like we immediately came upon a new language, sound, dialect. It sounded more like Bedouin music to me than anything particularly ‘Christian’, or much like anything we were ostensibly drawing from. I’ve always loved Tanya’s music but her voice here is, I think, on an entirely new level.”

Chris and Tanya also say, “Medieval purists be forewarned, we go where we want.”

The first song shared is the gorgeous “Novvus Annis Adiit,” which you can listen to below.

Tanya and Chris will support the record on tour this year, playing NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge on April 13. They’ve announced a few more shows, including Brattleboro, VT and two Massachusetts dates in Cambridge and Lowell. All are listed below.
