From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Evelyn Evelyn LP is the debut album by Evelyn Evelyn. Like their debut EP 7" vinyl, Elephant Elephant (2007), it is produced and presented by Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley. It will be released on March 30, 2010, though a pre-order is expected to begin soon.^[1]

The artwork (done by the award-winning artist, Cynthia von Buhler) as well as a brand-new song ("A Campaign of Shock and Awe") were debuted on the band's MySpace on December 8, 2009, shortly before the twins began using their Twitter and Facebook.

A worldwide tour/stage presentation in support of the album is planned for the spring and summer of 2010, including stops in New York and London.

One of the tracks from the album, "My Space", is set to include guest vocals from Kim and Zoe Boekbinder, Margaret Cho, Corn Mo, Morningwood vocalist Chantal Claret, Frances Bean Cobain, Neil Gaiman, Ethan Gold, Ari Gold, Eugene Mirman, Franz Nicolay, Amanda Palmer, Reverend Peyton, Tegan and Sara, Soko, Mindless Self Indulgence songwriter/vocalist Jimmy Urine, Kirsten Vangsness, Andrew W.K., My Chemical Romance vocalist Gerard Way, Jason Webley, and “Weird Al” Yankovic.^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]} In a recent blog post, Palmer had this to say of the guest vocalists:

We got a slew of guest vocalists to join in on a song called “My Space." Let it be known: This wasn’t a “We Are the World” type situation in which all these people flew to LA and recorded different lines of the song in a studio under the direction of Quincy Jones. Just so your bubbles aren’t burst when you get the record: Everybody took 45 seconds out of their lives and E-MAILED us a file of their voice singing THE SAME LINE, and we mixed it all together, gang-vocal-style. There was a minor tabloid blow-up announcing the album features the “singing debut of Frances Bean Cobain.” Oh good God. If you’re looking for that, wrong record. Everybody was just having fun, and there’s almost no way to distinguish who’s singing what…it was mostly a show of symbolic support for the twins on the parts of all these kind people."^[9]
