Death Shanties

"Saturn Devouring His Young"

From the forthcoming release Psychic Rome

(Golden Lab Recordings)

The Glasgow-based trio Death Shanties describe themselves as "a new mixed media balls-to-the-wall free jazz group". The group—consisting of Alex Neilson (drums), Dutch saxophonist Sybren Renema (alto/ baritone sax) and artist Lucy Stein (painting/ projections)—combine references to medieval music, sea shanties, field hollers and 1960s fire music. Stein uses primitive devotional images, food and hair in visceral, highly textured painted projections making Death Shanties an immersive live experience.

"Saturn Devouring His Young" is a track from the Death Shanties forthcoming album Psychic Rome available on LP/ DL on Golden Lab Recordings in Spring 2015.
