Black Mare Death Magick Mother

Amidst a backdrop of political strife wherein such fundamental principles as the health,
safety, and common decency toward women continue to erode more with each
executive order and Twitter fit, the spirit of Black Mare stands unbridled under
the singular vision and limitless purview of its driving force, one Sera Timms. Death
Magick Mother is the second proper full-length album from Los Angeles, California's
Black Mare. Seven songs in length, this documentation captures Timms amidst a
dynamic cohesion and confluence of inspiration unlike any prior. Whereas previous
output operated under a founding principle of rhythmic repetition and atmospheric
simplicity toward trace-like escapism, Death Magick Mother is Timms stepping right in
front of the lens for a closeup. Mixed by Andrew Clinco (of Drab Majesty), bolder
arrangements lend themselves toward soaring, dynamic vocal melodies and nuanced
harmonization to highly-satisfying effect. Spot-on performances and command of all
instrumentation across the spectrum further propels the sense of arrival in mastery
over her chosen craft. In many ways, this album is an awakening for both its creator
and listeners alike.
