Sarabeth Tucek emerges from a decade-long hibernation with a new double-album Joan of All

under the new moniker SBT- a longtime nickname given to her by the many musicians she has

worked with throughout her career.

After retreating from the fevered pace of the record business to concentrate on other creative

endeavors, Sarabeth began to piece together the music that would eventually become her most

ambitious, personal project yet-the sprawling double-album Joan Of All, released on her own freshly-minted imprint Ocean Omen.

Sarabeth Tucek officially broke onto the music scene 2003 performing a series of spellbinding duets with Bill Callahan on the acclaimed Smog album Supper. This was swiftly followed by a memorable appearance in the prize-winning Brian Jonestown Massacre documentary DiG! Sarabeth also contributed material to their 2005 EP release, We Are the Radio. One of Sarabeth's compositions covered by the band on that EP, "Seer," would later be retitled and

released in 2006 as Tucek's debut single, "Something for You," which became Steve Lamacq's Single Of The Week on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Her self-titled debut album produced by Luther Russell and Ethan Johns hit stores the following

year and garnered rave reviews in the press, leading her to supporting Bob Dylan and unfaltering support at the BBC.

In 2011, Sarabeth followed up her extraordinary debut with a raw, uncompromising album entitled Get Well Soon, praised as an unflinching meditation on the subject of grief. This release made many year-end lists and the title track was featured on the first season of HBO's Girls.

The new album features lead-off single "The Gift," as featured heavily on Marc Riley's BBC 6

Music show.
