Tanya Donelly, known for her work with Belly, Throwing Muses, and The Breeders, and Chris Brokaw, who has played drums for Codeine and guitar for Come, are set to release a new EP titled "The Undone Is Done Again" on April 17th, coinciding with Record Store Day. The EP features the duo reimagining medieval and early music, with a minimalist sound characterized by Donelly's vocals and Brokaw's guitar.
Why it matters
This collaboration represents a significant creative shift for both Donelly and Brokaw, moving away from their established indie rock roots to explore a centuries-old musical form. This could attract a wider audience interested in both alternative music and historical interpretations.
The details
The Undone Is Done Again features only Donelly's vocals and Brokaw's guitar, enhanced with reverb, creating a "gorgeous and haunted" sound. The duo has already released a preview of the EP with their rendition of the Gregorian chant "Novus Annus Aduiit," and have now shared another track, "Sainte Nicholaes."
- The Undone Is Done Again is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026, which is Record Store Day.
- Donelly and Brokaw are scheduled to perform at several venues following the EP's release, including April 10th at the Stone Church in Brattleboro, Vermont, April 13th at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City, and May 2nd at both First Church Cambridge and The Town and the City Festival in Lowell, Massachusetts.
