Palmer also had a message to fans about new music she is working on for 2017, for release only to her Patreon audience.
“Please think about joining. it’s wonderful, and it’s making everything possible.
i went into a beautiful little recording studio on the very last day of tour and made some surprises (with neil AND with jherek bischoff doing string arrangements, eeeeee) that i’ll be putting out via patreon. (if you’re already a patron, you’ll get it in the mail as soon as possible, and i’m also about to send a patron-only teaser, one song, from the edward ka-spel record).”
Palmer has also new holiday merch, with a new Afp design by UK artist Lozzy Bones, and a Dresden Dolls design by Malleus Design Labs, known for their distinctive tour posters and album art, and also their day jobs in Italian doom band Ufomammut.
