The trans-Atlantic post/art-punk duo Blood Moon Wedding, featuring the legendary English punk rocker Steve Lake of Zounds and American opera singer Mia Dean will release their anticipated debut full-length offering, Blood Moon Wedding: An American Nightmare, on the seventh of April via Mobilization Recordings. Now they dropped the album's first single, "Spell", which comes with a stirring DIY music video.
Steve Lake informs: "'Spell' is the beginning of our story, so I have always had it in mind that we would release it as the first single. It comes in rather triumphant, but also has so many interwoven, chaotic, sonic elements that set the stage for our rather wild adventure."
Speaking of the video, Mia Dean offers: "We shot most of the video at the ruins of Farleigh Hungerford Castle, and in the gorgeous, still standing, 14th century chapel on the site. The rest was filmed on the shore of the San Francisco Bay. The effect is as otherworldly as the bizarre lyrics and delivery. It's great fun to hear and watch their vocal interplay."
Blood Moon Wedding is a road trip of horrors through an alternate reality. Set in the sprawling deserts of the United States, Steve and Mia find themselves trapped in a shadow world where death and love are the only way through the gates of space and time. Exploring themes of mass murder, gun violence, and trauma bonding, Blood Moon Wedding is a dramatic commentary on the violence in American society.
Blood Moon Wedding: An American Nightmare is a themed album of dramatic songs, atmospheric soundscapes and magical-realist spoken word. It was written by Mia and Steve, in California and the South West of England during the 2020 lockdown. Check out the brand new single/video "Spell" right below. Link
