Dark folk/art-pop artist Kira McSpice shares the first single, "Knife Like A Spile", and announces devastatingly beautiful, The Compartmentalization Of Decay, a dark reflection on trauma and survival, forthcoming album, which will be released on the 12th of April. Kira McSpice's voice is breathtaking, the songs are enduring, and the atmosphere, the poetic motifs, and the pathos are all very, very deep.
The Compartmentalization Of Decay is going to grip a lot of people who will respond to McSpice's novel take on trauma and - not healing, but - survival. The drama and atmosphere will certainly appeal to fans of PJ Harvey, Lingua Ignota, Catherine Ribeiro, Jarboe and Circuit Des Yeux. But McSpice's voice is her own.
As a sexual assault survivor, Kira McSpice saw her trauma as a lot like the tapping of a maple tree; it was not merely an act of violence, but the initiation of a slow extraction, a draining. Working with this metaphor, McSpice authored a story which the album outlines, with various instrumental personas representing The Red Sky, The Sun, The Fog and The Spile, the latter being the instrument used to tap a maple tree.
Kira McSpice has created a piece of work that is by turns undeniably fierce and hypnogogic. Watch the video and listen to "Knife Like A Spile" right here. Link
