Tori Amos will release Sin Palabras, the instrumental version of this year’s acclaimed Night of Hunters album, on December 13 via Deutsche Grammophon. It will be available at all digital retailers.
On Night of Hunters, Tori created a 21st century song cycle with variations on themes by Satie, Granados, Chopin and other great composers. Sin Palabras provides a completely new listening experience and perspective on the compositions by stripping the vocals and putting Tori’s adventurous arrangements and virtuosic playing, along with that of The Apollon Musagete Quartet and the Berlin Philharmonic clarinet soloist Andreas Ottensamer, at the forefront. Fans who have already or will purchase Night of Hunters will be able to download the instrumental version of Night of Hunters‘ title track via the "Bonus" tab on Tori’s official Facebook, beginning Friday December 2
Glide Magazine recently awarded Amos’ Night of Hunters album with 4.5/5 stars, claiming, "Amos’ output over the past decade has been incredibly inconsistent… but 2011’s Night of Hunters, commissioned by Deutsche Grammophon, returns Amos to her rightful place as virtuoso story-teller. In the end, it’s the music that endures, and thankfully this time Tori Amos is wholly tuned into that frequency and has written a downright phenomenal record."

Amos also just released a 10-minute short film to accompany the track "Star Whisperer" from the new album, which premiered earlier this week on the Sundance Channel. The film was shot in Ireland near the River Bandon, which Tori used as the setting for Night of Hunters.
