<span>• Death and the Maiden •</span>
<span class="post-align" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 20px; line-height: normal;"><span class="p-color" style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="post-font-serif1">Lucinda King - bass, vocals<br>
Danny Brady - synths, drum machines<br>
Hope Robertson - guitars<span class="post-br"><br></span>Death and the Maiden’s Uneven Ground draws back the velvet curtain on the trio’s shadowy dreamworld with nine songs of their distinctive slow-motion fusion of underground electronic dance music and post-punk guitars washed through with psychic unease.<span class="post-br"><br></span>The trio’s name is taken from that of a nineteenth century engraving by Edvard Munch: an artwork steeped in mythology, exploring the dark boundaries between love and death, strength and frailty, beauty and decay. Their three albums to date each reinforce the symbolism of the name, and Uneven Ground’s title could apply as much to their own journey in the years since Wisteria, their previous album, as to the times in which we live.<span class="post-br"><br></span>Bassist and vocalist Lucinda King is the bedrock, guide and storyteller. Guitarist Hope Robertson weaves swooping, soaring motifs and sometimes deconstructed layers of noise to build analogue atmosphere for these alternate worlds. Danny Brady’s beats mix old-school drum machines with electronic tones and distortion, while his synth arrangements blend elements of psy-trance and acid house with more amniotic ambient and industrial textures.<span class="post-br"><br></span>While Uneven Ground may be the most overtly “pop”-sounding album in their catalogue, it also ratchets up the ominous atmosphere, noise and experimentation. Once again King’s evocative lyrics appear as cryptic stories, built from events, memories, dreams, moments, warnings, regrets; where questions raised are left unanswered, and possibilities remain open.</span></span></span></span>
