Hey
there, cowpokes! I just got hitched, which meant I got a liiiittle
behind working on the podcast. But, I think this interview
withViolet Bellis well worth the white. The North Carolina duo,
consisting of Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez, just released their
gorgeous new album, Shapeshifter. The album retells the ancient
story of the selkie from many perspectives. Not only is the album
beautiful musically, but Violet Bell use the story to make
connections to dysphoria, power, imperialism, and liberation -- all
from an old fisherman's tale.
The
bad news is the duo got COVID right after when the album was
released, but the good news is you still have time to see their
rescheduled album release show in December, so check out their
website to find out where you can catch them.
