Mimi Barks has released her brand-new single ‘BANSHEE’, giving a taster of what’s to come in her debut album THIS IS DOOM TRAP out in September this year, you can pre-order now.
Mimi Barks shares the following statement on her new single, “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.”
Mimi Barks has just come off her UK and European tour alongside Yonaka and Noisy. She will also be appearing at this years Bloodstock, Copenhell Festival and a one off date in Portsmouth, tickets are available now.
