Alanis Creates New 'Chaos' Singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette will unveil her new album, "So-Called Chaos," April 13 on Maverick Records. The 10-track set was co-produced by the artist with John Shanks and Tim Thorney and finds her backed by her touring band of guitarists David Levita and Jason Orme, bassist Eric Avery, keyboardist Zac Rae and drummer Blair Sinta. "I had spent a few years rising to my own occasion in terms of wanting to see, out of curiosity, what producing a record on my own would be like," Morissette says. "Then once I tasted what that was like, I realized my favorite aspect of making a record was the writing of it. This way was so much more relaxing for me." First single "Everything" is expected to hit U.S. radio outlets in late February and will be accompanied by a video. Other tracks include rockers such as "Excuses" and "Eight Easy Steps," the more mid-tempo "Out Is Through," the title cut and "Spineless," with the latter two described as "adventurous soundscapes." Morissette will tour extensively in support of the new album. "I am beside myself with anticipation to tour," she says. "I'm really excited to travel the world even more than I have over the last couple of years. In keeping with wanting my life to be a little bit more balanced, I'd love to make it that I'm touring whether I have a record out or not, and the tours themselves won't be breakneck year-and-a-half tours." The artist also recorded acoustic versions of 14 songs from her back catalog, with an eye on releasing them in some form later this year. "I am inspired to balance my energy expenditure and my energy rejuvenation, regardless of what it is that I'm doing with my days," she reveals. "So-Called Chaos" is the follow-up to 2002's "Under Rug Swept," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and featured the single "Hands Clean," which reached No. 3 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart. Here is the "So-Called Chaos" track list: "Eight Easy Steps" "Out Is Through" "Excuses" "Doth I Protest Too Much" "Knees of My Bees" "Not All Me" "So-Called Chaos" "This Grudge" "Spineless" "Everything" -- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. --
