My offering for James Joys's fantastic remix compilation 'Belly Drum Gullet'. This one samples 'The Joy Sang Inside Me' from Canon Fodder, and was made using my Eurorack modular system as a live take, with some post-production…

THE JOY SANG INSIDE ME (James Joys Rework)

Interested parties get in touch for release -- there are several Eps within this condensed version, and we'd like to bring out different aspects of Melody Boa Band with every cd or tape or whatever :-)

Melbo EPs Sampler v.4

Artist: Penance Stare
Track: Cradlewell (Lacrima)
Album Title: Solanaceae
Label: Crow Versus Crow
Catalogue Number: CVC011
Format: Limited Edition of 50 cassettes & digital download
Release Date: Friday 1st February 2019

Crow Versus Crow is honoured to be able to present, 'Solanaceae', the second full-length record from Penance Stare, the
Gateshead (UK)-based project of songwriter Esmé Louise Newman. 

Following the much-lauded 'Scrying'(2018) and
'House of Bastet' EP (2017) cassettes, this bleak and haunted recording captures Penance Stare at its most fully-realised
thus far.

Previously known for her work in Melting, Commiserations, and Etai Keshiki, among many others, Esmé has
spent the last two years deep in sonic exploration, developing an incredibly rich sound that, “whips together
atmospheric black metal with darkwave, shoegaze, stormy ambient, and witch house… as soothing as it is intense” (Kim
Kelly, Noisey).

'Solanaceae' deals lyrically with themes of trauma, illness, ageing, neglect and regret, and is rendered with a sonic
palette of heavy drum machine rhythms, degraded chamber music passages, low fidelity guitar fuzz and blurred out
vocals.

With blatant disregard for the oft-perceived sanctity of aesthetic dogma, Penance Stare draws voraciously from a
wealth of seemingly disparate musical sources, twisting the Gothic ephemeral grandeur of Cocteau Twins, the blunt
mass of industrial noise, the layered textural intricacy of ‘Loveless’ and the raw, razor thin brutality of contemporary
Black Metal, to form distinctly articulate works of personal expression.

After stunning audiences at initial exploratory gigs in Manchester and Leeds and as part of TUSK Fringe during 2018,
Penance Stare will be performing at select live dates throughout the UK, and writing and recording new material with
an expanded line up in 2019

'Solanaceae' is released as a limited edition of 50 professionally dubbed cassettes and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 1st February 2019.
