BESTIAL MOUTHS – Photo by Suzy Poling
BESTIAL MOUTHS present a raw, synth-driven energy propelled by singer Lynette Cerezo’s powerful vocals. Often likened to Diamanda Galas, Siouxsie Sioux or Lydia Lunch, Cerezo delivers each note with fury and abandon. Synthesists/keyboardists Christopher Myrick and Gustavo Aldana channel early industrial, EBM, goth and minimal synth pop in turns, blending harsh electronics and lush melodies. When fused to Aldana’s splintered programmed beats and the tribal rhythms and samples of drummer Jessica Reuter, the harmonics combine to breathe new life into post punk, weaving their own distinct creation in the process.
The band’s debut album was released in 2011 on Dais Records. In 2012, BESTIAL MOUTHS released a live cassette recorded from a performance supporting the legendary PSYCHIC TV through Black Horizons. Later that year, they performed at SXSW and toured Europe. A new LP produced by David Psutka of EGYPTRIX and split 12 inch were released in 2013 by Clan Destine Records and Sweating Tapes/Desire Records respectively, followed by performances at San Francisco’s Independent and Los Angeles’ Troubadour supporting AUSTRA and a US tour. Now BESTIAL MOUTHS will finally come back to Europe to present their self-titled new remix album.
Now BESTIAL MOUTHS‘s Reunion got remixed by BITES. The track, taken from the new self-titled remix album, premieres on NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION. Enjoy the dark, but not black, synth-driven piece of beauty.
