Death Valley Girls Release New Album And Video

With their new album “Under The Spell Of Joy” out today via Suicide Squeeze Records, Los Angeles doom-boogie group Death Valley Girls have shared their new video ‘Hypnagogia‘. On the surface, previous albums like “Glow in the Dark” and “Darkness Rains” were rowdy mash-ups of early American punk, sun-baked psych rock and proto-metal fire-and-brimstone guitar worship, yet there was always an undercurrent of some kind of strange, celebratory communal ritual in their music, with their latest album “Under The Spell Of Joy” the band dives even deeper into that magical cosmic energy.

“Under The Spell Of Joy” can be streamed and purchased via Bandcamp here

‘Hypnagogia‘ music video aims to represent both a mystical dream and a universal spell, trying to include rites, superstitions, and symbologies that were taken, with absolute respect, from different beliefs around the world (black cats, resurrection butterflies, Huichol deer and Anansi, the African trickster spider, for example). Maybe, it can also be understood as an audiovisual Totem. It was a truly great honor for me to work with such a powerful and meaningful music.
