The Burning Hell releases "Bird Queen Of Garbage Island" video and single
Somewhere far across the ocean, a mutant cyclops bird queen rules over a floating mass of trash, the last remnants of a lost civilization. Is this a vision of the future? A new Netflix series? No, it’s “Bird Queen of Garbage Island,” the new single from The Burning Hell. The band, based in PEI and Newfoundland, spent a large part of the pandemic working on a new record, to be released in the summer of 2022. This first single showcases songwriter Mathias Kom’s typically irreverent, surrealist lyricism (and more Waterworld references than a Kevin Costner fan convention), over a musical landscape provided by bandmates Ariel Sharratt, Jake Nicoll, and Darren Browne, which combines a Tom Tom Club-style groove with an ASMR breakdown featuring office supplies and - fittingly - plenty of actual garbage. The accompanying video was created by the award-winning New Brunswick multi-media artist Graeme Patterson, and the single itself is being released on a limited edition 7” record with an accompanying comic book written for the project by the French graphic novelist and illustrator Emmanuel Moynot.
The vinyl single is exclusively available from our label shop or at the band merchandise during the November tour.
