Description
Spill – Don’t Wanna Know About Evil – 7 Inch Vinyl Record
The song explores themes of disconnection and the desire to remain ignorant of the darker aspects of reality, conveyed through an artistic and somewhat abstract arrangement. This includes layered vocals, eclectic instrumentation, and perhaps unconventional song structures that challenge traditional music norms.
Listeners can expect Don’t Wanna Know About Evil to offer a blend of introspective lyrics with sonically rich and diverse musical elements, making it appealing for those who appreciate music that pushes creative boundaries and offers deeper commentary on personal or societal issues.
Elizabeth Caroline Orton, commonly known as Beth Orton, (born December 14, 1970), is a BRIT Award-winning English singer-songwriter. Known for her folktronica sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica, she was initially recognized for her collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid 1990s but these were not Ortons first recordings. She released a solo album, Superpinkymandy, in 1993.
Since the album was only released in Japan, it went largely unnoticed by American audiences. Her second solo album, Trailer Park, garnered much critical acclaim in 1996. With the release of the albums Central Reservation (1999) and the 2001 UK top 10 album Daybreaker, Beth developed a devoted fan base.
On her 2006 release, Comfort of Strangers, she has moved towards a more folk-based sound and away from the electronic sound of past albums. American movies and TV shows such as Felicity, How to Deal, and Vanilla Sky have featured her music and provided her with exposure to an American mainstream audience. The popularity and recognition she has earned in the UK has manifested America within the last ten years.
Her first contribution in music came when she met William Orbit at a London nightclub, when he tried to borrow a cigarette from her. They began a relationship shortly after, and before long he invited her to do some spoken word for his current Strange Cargo project, but she drunkenly decided to sing also. Possibly the best-known work from that time is Water from a Vine Leaf, which she co-wrote and which was released as a limited-edition single. It was also at this time that Orbit and Orton covered John Martyn’s Don’t Wanna Know Bout Evil, which was not only the first song that they recorded together, but also the first release as a duet called Spill in Japan, which was also re-released in 1997 in the UK.
