Brett Gleason's debut video 'I Am Not' combines the low end crunch and electronica of industrial music with a piano based, singer/songwriter style, garnering him comparisons to such diverse artists as Trent Reznor, Tori Amos, Amanda Palmer and Antony Hegarty. Part horror movie, part personal journey of self destructive assertion, 'I Am Not' is both inspiring and disturbing. Shot in a dark and damp New England forest on a cold December night, Brett Gleason's debut video is intriguing and unforgettable, much like the release itself.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - The holidays already are looking bright for fans of singer-songwriter Tori Amos fans, who will release "Midwinter Graces," her first collection of holiday music.
Due November 10 on Universal Republic, the 12-song set features holiday standards such as "Star of Wonder" as well as original compositions such as "Pink and Glitter" and "Our New Year." Amos recruited longtime collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, Mac Aladdin on guitars and arranger John Philip Shenale.
"Midwinter Graces" will conclude a busy year for Amos, who released "Abnormally Attracted to Sin," her 10th studio album, this past May. According to Nielsen SoundScan, "Sin" has sold 92,000 copies and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
According to a release, Amos has had a long history with seasonal themed music, honing her chops as a youth at the church where her father was minister. Amos has been known to cover Christmas staples "Little Drummer Boy" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in concert.
Amos is on tour in Europe through October 10 and will head to Australia in November. No holiday-themed shows are scheduled at this point.

A preview of the new Tori Amos album, Abnormally Addicted To Sin. From the website:
"The world has changed completely, it seems, in the past two years. The world that we all knew before, could wake up in feeling safe, ... now it seems that everything has been turned upside down," Amos told the Reuters news agency in an interview.
"The record is asking all kinds of questions about power -- how do we define it? Because if it's with money then we're all in trouble. And what is success? What are we attracted to? Because it kind of needs to change," she said.
