Composer Nico Muhly and singer/songwriter Teitur, whose album Confessions is due out on Nonesuch on October 21, have unveiled a second track off the album. "Don't I Know You from Somewhere" is available to download now with pre-orders of the new album on iTunes and in the Nonesuch Store, along with the previously released album opener, "Describe You." The song can also be heard on Spotify and Apple Music, and in the video below.
The two musicians began work on the project when Muhly was composer-in-residence at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The songs' lyrics were inspired by or culled from video and commentary the pair found on YouTube. In 2009, Muhly, Teitur, and Holland Baroque toured the Netherlands, performing the piece with the videos that inspired it, such as the one below, projected behind the players; they recorded the songs at the end of the tour.
Muhly and Teitur will perform songs from the album with New York Baroque Incorporated at New York's (le) Poisson Rouge on Friday, October 21.
