LISTEN to SSIT Single INVISIBLE LABOR, the perfect bloody Mother’s Day card
"The work of the Mother is so often invisible. Taken for granted. Whether it's the every day Mother taking care of her children, her household, or our Mother Earth who's natural systems we abuse. This song is like ENOUGH IS ENOUGH."
DOMESTIKA, SHE SPEAKS IN TONGUES 2ND ALBUM IN 8 YEARS is NOW OUT for LISTENING ON BANDCAMP.
LISTEN to the track INVISIBLE LABOR to get a flavor of what this album, and "MOTHER'S DAY" is really about. A description below...
"I wanted to capture the feeling of grief from being on the other side of Motherhood. Having gone through the Threshold... You grieve the person you were. You grieve the lack of respect and honor and ceremony in your culture for Birth and Motherhood and Healing. It really weighs on you. I wanted to take the song from this micro level of that experience, that grief, to the macro level of singing from the perspective of Mother Earth. Of ALL the Mother Ancestors coming to this woman's aid and being her advocate and expressing their anger. Really pointing the finger at society and saying "NOW SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!"
