The Baby Woodrose side-project called Dragontears is ready to release their second album entitled "Tambourine Freak Machine". The release date is set for for November 17th and it will be available as LP/CD and download.

The album is musically quite similar to the debut album - "2000 Micrograms From Home" from March 2007 - but the band used a larger amount of electronics and the eternal quest for hallucinatory experimentation has made the music span a sligthly wider range, transcending musical styles like neofolk, psychedelic, space rock and electronica. Hell, it must be the first album in 20 years to include a bona fide drum solo!

Dragontears has a fluent line-up and this time around it includes:

Lorenzo Woodrose - Vocals, guitars, organs, jug and piano (Baby Woodrose)
Fuzz Daddy - Drums, percussion, tablabox and cellphone (Baby Woodrose)
The Moody Guru - Bass, Tambourabox and pianostrings (Baby Woodrose)
Manoj Ramdas - Theremin, Musicbox and circuit bending (ex-Raveonettes, Spektr)
Janine Neble - Vocals and Red Fiddle Finger (Alive With Worms)
The Hobbit - Guitars, Roland R66 and space echo (On Trial, Spids Nøgenhat)
Aron - Guitars, drone and feedback (Aron, Spids Nøgenhat, ex-On Trial)
Ralph A. Rjeily - Tape treatments, FX Chain and psychedelic patchbay
The Twilight Princess - Chinese flute and vibes

The tracklist includes the 10 minute drug fantasy “The River” which involves an impressive eight verses of illuminated spiritual delerium and is not a Bruce Springsteen cover. Also, another eight verses of righteous anger and loathing in “Masters of War”, which is in fact a Bob Dylan cover. Other highlights are a 16 minute dark hypnotic journey titled “The Freedom Seed”, which features Danish punk diva Janine Neble from Alive With Worms - and the electronic experimental track “Dreamweaver 2”, which features delicately noisy circuit bends from ex- Raveonettes Manoj Ramdas, absolutely molesting an out of date drum machine and some Japanese toy keyboard.

No photos of Dragontears ecxists, no flashy website is in the pipeline and there is no gigs planned. But as a teaser it is possible to listen to the song "Sunrise" on the Dragontears myspace:
