Tiny Vipers announces first new record in 8 years, shares new song

Tiny Vipers, the desolate indie folk project of Seattle musician Jesy Fortino, is back with her new record, Tormentor, out November 7. The album is being fully independently self-released. It is her first full recording of new material since 2017's Laughter.

Tormentor follows Fortino's American Prayer EP from 2022. All three songs from that release reappear on the new LP in newly-recorded renditions, including "The Elevator", which has been renamed "Mary Pilgrim Inn". Listen below:

The record also includes a new version of "Aron" from Tiny Vipers' 2007 debut effort, Hands Across the Void.

Earlier this year, Fortino released a compilation of unreleased, archival recordings from the 90s and early 2000s called Illuzionz. She has also recently collaborated with singer-songwriter Tomo Nakayama on a song from his forthcoming LP, Ocean, called "With the Radio On".

Tormentor is out November 7. Preorder here. Full tracklist:

  1. Tunnel
  2. Simulate
  3. Mary Pilgrim Inn
  4. Rainfalls
  5. Breakfast
  6. American Prayer
  7. Tormentor
  8. Rolling Down The Drivers Window
  9. Aron

Editor's note: A prior version of this post mistook "Mary Pilgrim Inn" for a new track, when it is in fact a renamed rendition of "The Elevator".
