Fans of the now-defunct (but still epic) SubRosa, get stoked on vocalist Rebecca Vernon’s new project The Keening.
The music has some definite similarities to SubRosa, but also a distinctly more folk-influenced feel. Their debut album comes out October 6 via Relapse Records, and last week they dropped the title track, “Little Bird,” with an accompanying video.
“I’m excited to finally start releasing this music into the ether, along with the album art, and the music video for single ‘Little Bird,’ says Vernon. “I think the film company 10 Seconds to Comply (Ken Whiting, Andrew Bonazelli and Manny OA) did a phenomenal job pulling together this music video and bringing their beautiful vision to light. They really captured the spirit and essence of the song. I’m proud of my friend Lucy Sharapata for playing the lead so well. I’m also excited to share the album art—two oil paintings by Lis Pardoe of Portland. Thanks to Relapse Records for making this happen!”
