Overview
- Auf der Maur announced the project on Monday, July 20, 2026, and said the collection will be released digitally and on cassette on September 4, 2026.
- The record combines seven previously unreleased four‑track demos she recorded and self‑mixed in the 1990s with eight new interludes created to score the museum installation.
- Auf der Maur says the tapes received no modern reworking beyond mastering to preserve their lo‑fi Tascam sound and diary‑style vocals.
- The installation, co‑produced with Alex Crow, opens at the Art Gallery of Ontario on September 2 and uses archival handycam audience footage and a recurring heartbeat motif; a 240‑page photobook follows on September 8 via DelMonico Books/D.A.P.
- The release is her first new music in more than 15 years, follows a March memoir that renewed interest in her archive, and reframes her ’90s touring years as personal archival art rather than a band reunion.
