Original Artwork Drift by Sarah Duncan
Rachael Dease releases The Mountain 23.10.20
Single from forthcoming album Hymns for End Times
Written on the banks of the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) during her residency at Gallop House, Western Australia, The Mountain is a mother’s promise to provide safety and comfort during a time of turmoil and unease.
Known for her award-winning theatre and dance scoring, and as the former front person of Perth band Schvendes, Hymns for End Times is a personal, unapologetic amalgamation of her talents.
While Dease’s songs and voice have been compared to Nick Cave, Chelsea Wolfe, PJ Harvey and Agnes Obel, Hymns for End Times is part-song, part symphony with shades of Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Henri Gorecki.
The Mountain will be available on all the usual streaming platforms and rachaeldease.bandcamp.com from 23.10.20
Hymns for End Times is set for release 04.12.20
