Our new album SPELLS + RITUALS released on Friday, and we want to tell you more about the songs -- starting with “Blue Bottle Blues.” This song was inspired in part by Deborah Blum’s book The Poisoner's Handbook (a fascinating history of toxicology and forensic science in prohibition-era NYC) and partly by Ellia’s childhood phobia of being poisoned. Listen on @Bandcamp, @spotify, @applemusic, or via profile link. Two incredible artists have created illustrations for this track: Magda Boreysza, whose work you may recognize from the Cautionary Tales album cover and some of our T-shirt designs (check her art and comics at @foxandcomet ), and Dame Darcy, creator of the comic Meat Cake, whose new graphic memoir Hi Jax and Hi Jinks is out now (check out Dame Darcy's art, books, and #Tarot cards at @damedarcy). @deborahblum7 #deborahblum #magdaboreysza #damedarcy #poison #poisonershandbook #toxicology #forensicscience #antidote #noantidote https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiJDRqlpAD/?igshid=5svmh0u0asdi
