Dystopian Future Movies announce a new album and a run of UK headline shows in October. The third studio album “War of the Ether” will be released worldwide via Septaphonic Records on Friday, 7th October 2022.
Featuring Caroline Cawley and Bill Fisher (Church of the Cosmic Skull) and Rafe Dunn (Amusement Parks on Fire, JCDX), the group combines Cawley’s distinctive songwriting with layers of discordant guitars, atmospheric swells and colossal heaviness.
Following the critically lauded 2020 album “Inviolate,” the new release is also a completely self-produced work, recorded at their studio in Nottingham UK, and explores a wide range of genres from Prog and Shoegaze to Doom Metal, Noise-Rock and Folk.
Lyrically, the album dives deep into a recent scandal surrounding 796 skeletons found on the grounds of the former Catholic-run Tuam Mother & Baby Home in songwriter Cawley’s native Ireland. To hide the shame of pregnancy outside of wedlock, women were sent to homes like this all over the country – forcibly separated from their mothers, many of the children died in infancy due to neglect, and some were trafficked for adoption to the US. The country is still dealing with the fallout from these discoveries.
Limited edition vinyl preorders and tour dates will be announced soon.
An exclusive pre-listen of “War of the Ether” will be available to the DFM Community in the run-up to the release – you can sign up here: http://dystopianfuturemovies.com/sign-up
