Mimi Barks has dropped the latest cut from her forthcoming album, ‘This Is Doom Trap’.
New single ‘Banshee’ is another taste of the dark, compelling world the artist is building, and follows the release of recent album-announcer ‘FSU’ (short for Fuck Shit Up).
‘This Is Doom Trap’ arrives September 26 via Silent Cult and will mark the follow-up to the doom-trap artist’s 2022 ‘DEADGIRL’ album.
Speaking poetically, if a little cryptic, about her latest single, Mimi has shared:
“A scream much like the sirens of death. A piercing voice prophesying your approaching demise. This ethereal noise is your death sentence. Coming at you like the ultrasonic squeaks of a bat.
“And when your heart stops beating and nobody will be there for their last goodbye, you won’t find me. A broken childhood, a motherless orphan. You failed as a parent now I falter as a child. And you’ve chosen this path.
“Drowned every new promise in a bigger sip. A Wormgirl, unwanted. Birthed into hopelessness. With my torso open for a second and my heart on display. It was yours for the taking and you routed a stake through it.
“And I died a thousand times. Took refuge in my chrysalis where I licked up the taste of iron in the red; healed my wounds. Reincarnated into the Promised Land.
“Emerge into something bigger than I was destined for. The moth dies so the butterfly can exist.”
