Kate Bush is to release a new album on 21st November.

This news comes as a surprise, since the new album – entitled ’50 Words For Snow’ – will be Bush’s second release in 2011. She has previously been renowned for extended breaks between releases.

The album was recorded during the sessions for the disappointing ‘Director’s Cut’ (released on Bush’s own Fish People record label back in May) and contains seven new tracks, with a total running time of 65 minutes.

The full tracklisting is:

Snowflake
Lake Tahoe
Misty
Wildman
Snowed in at Wheeler Street
50 Words for Snow
Among Angels
