Tori Amos: Father’s Son
Whether you like it or not, every artistic endevour starts with a concept. American Doll Posse splits the various archetypes that Tori Amos has frequently drawn inspiration from, placing them into their own personalities and their own songs. For those who believe the end result is too sprawling, just consider it to be a collection of five EPs – each in their own style. But to listen to the album as originally sequenced allows the listener to recognise the relationships between these persona.
Father’s Son is a Tori song, built around Bösendorfer and Rhodes piano – a subtle piece of anti-patriarchy that proves it’s always the quiet ones you should keep an eye on.
