Songstress and closet comedian Nellie McKay is set to release Obligatory Villagers on September 25. Like its one-year-old, Broadway-tinted sibling Pretty Little Head, the songs were written, produced and arranged by McKay, and will come out via the activist’s own label Hungry Mouse imprint.
The British-born, States-raised pop jazz songwriter recruited jazz greats like Phil Woods and David Liebman to a recording studio nestled in the Pocono Mountains. McKay has also been known to contribute to The Onion and has appeared on Broadway.
