Doom Pop/Electronic Post-Punk artists Beauty Queen Autopsy have released the video for the first single off of their debut album Lotharia, titled “Spread”. Lotharia is scheduled for release June 30th.
Beauty Queen Autopsy’s debut Lotharia is the wild synergistic effect of two of the underground’s most prolific artists (Unwoman’s Erica Mulkey and Caustic’s Matt Fanale) joining forces. Musically and emotionally raw, Lotharia dives headfirst into the deep end of electronic post-punk shoegaze, with distorted, reverb-heavy songs of a woman’s lust, heartbreak, and rebirth. Lotharia pits Fanale’s stark, bombastic compositions against Mulkey’s soaring vocal harmonies, creating a uniquely rewarding collision of harsh and smooth, allowing both parts of the musical equation to soar.
From the opening manifesto ‘Good, Giving, Game’ to the pounding, drinking-til-bartime ‘Pumps’, to the folk industrial plinking of ‘The Taxidermist’, BQA slips from track to track telling the tale of a woman cutting through love’s tangled Gordian Knot and experiencing true freedom for the first time. Unapologetic and unrelenting, BQA’s percussive, sexy grind portrays the true nature of being vulnerable and rejected yet desirable, and how sometimes the best way to heal is by stitching the pieces together and proudly displaying the scars.
