Written and recorded over the period spanning early adolescence to the
present day, "A Bit o' This & That" is the ultimate collection and must-have for
all fans of music's most compelling eccentric, EMILIE AUTUMN. What discography
could be complete without a compilation of ancient b-sides and rarities, not to
mention the occasional cover tune recorded whilst sitting in bed? On "A Bit o'
This & That", the classical violin prodigy and collaborator with artists such as
COURTNEY LOVE and BILLY CORGAN shares her bizarre and wonderful sense of whimsy,
covering songs from Broadway musicals, BBC television shows, and THE SMITHS,
while showing off a ridiculously large vocal range in her own operatic
compositions, and followed by the strangest offering of all, a truly original
take on "The Star Spangled Banner". In all of "A Bit o' This & That"s sublime
ridiculousness, the listener becomes instantly aware that EMILIE AUTUMN is not
always the dark and brooding soul she seems, and that her sense of humour as
well as her ability to not take herself too seriously is one of her greatest
charms. With this collection of remixes, b-sides and rarities, EMILIE AUTUMN
tosses her talent-packed gems our way, and, while one can not help but wonder
just how many multiple personalities EMILIE AUTUMN has, we welcome and delight
in them all. "A Bit o' This & That" is simply a picture-perfect collection for
those who wish to catch a more profound glimpse into the wonderfully strange and
multifaceted world of EMILIE AUTUMN.
