The Tiger Lillies with Kronos Quartet - The Gorey End flac album

The Kronos Quartet accompanies the trio on these lucky 13 songs, which were originally supposed to be part of a Shockheaded Peter-like theatrical presentation of Gorey's work. The project dates back to 1999, when Gorey, a fan of Shockheaded Peter and the Tiger Lillies' other projects, sent Martyn Jaques a box full of his newest writing.
