Why Are All The Angels Eyes Missing Daddy And Why Are You Smiling?

Atlanta’s “Bog Witch” and Boise’s “Mystic Tape Deck” announce the release of a new collaborative single, “Dogs of Chernobyl” to mark the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  

Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 

Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.

Wendy writes “I couldn’t sleep one night and picked-up my phone to surf when I noticed an article about the radioactive dogs of Chernobyl.  Right away it seemed like a song.”  

Wendy invited Mystic Tape Deck to collaborate with her in creating the sonic pallet for this song, the proceeds from all sales of which will be donated to the Clean Futures Fund. 

The Clean Futures Fund relies upon donations to provide medical supplies, vaccines, and food for the dogs living in the Exclusion Zone.

"Dogs of Chernobyl" - Bog Witch + Mystic Tape Deck

Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

Luna: lyrics, vocals/recitation

Teth Sin: bağlama, samplers & synthesizers, sound design

Marcy Angeles is a Two-Spirit Nednhi Chiricahua Apache & Guamares Band of Chichimeca writer, painter and musician from Southern New Mexico. Her main solo music project is Western Obsidian, an exploration of trauma placed on her Native People for generations. Marcy has also composed music for her solo music projects Blue Mountain Mescal, The Virgin Wash, Fleurish, Allophane, Burning Water, HERosion Decay, Naki & under her name Marcy Angeles. Her paintings and poetry have been featured in Rest for Resistance Magazine, ReWire.News, Two Spirits Are Sacred Beings and in the 2017 issue 5 of Parallax Magazine. She was the only Two Spirit to have her work on display at the Branigan Cultural Museum from October 2019 through February 2020, including an exhibit honoring the work done at Stonewall by Queer Activists. In October of 2020, Marcy sat in for a Colloquium titled ‘ Halloquium ‘ where she performed her music & was a part of the panel discussing Ethics in Nightlight so they may better meet the needs of Queer & Trans Folk. Marcy has designed a Limited Edition Shirt for Crushing Colonialism & most recently was a part of the first ever Indigenous Trans Panel hosted by Navajo Nation’s Dine Equality. Marcy began to do artwork and writing as a child, the music came later. Her first solo band was TVOD, it was an industrial music project intended to give PTSD a sound- to sound fearful so the listener understands what PTSD feels like just by listening. She has been a long time advocate for LGBTQ2S Rights & Dignity. Marcy has been one of the many Native American Two Spirits working to restore their place by the Sacred Fire; ‘it is one thing to be transgender and a whole other to be an Indigenous Two Spirit Woman.’ Thank you for listening. If you're curious to see original paintings, hear original music & some Writing, feel free to check out the Tumblr or Bandcamp pages as well. I have multiple music projects, so I felt best to consolidate everything on my souncloud page under my name Marcy Angeles.
