Formerly of post-metal band Giant Squid, Aurielle Zeitler is set to release the latest album from her slowcore solo project Ghost Marrow later this year. Originally a means to channel her feelings of living with a rare bone marrow disease, new album ‘Earth + Death’ is an exercise in musical freedom.
Created from a series of synth improvisations, Zeitler - converse to the pace of the songs themselves - worked quickly without agonising over details. It “was about liberation of my heart, for lack of a better term, and seeing if something musical would arrive without my intellect complicating the process”, she says.
The result, she goes on, was a “transformation of grief and despair into acceptance and courage” and an album that became a reflection on “the elegance and brutality of things that are alive”.
‘Earth + Death’ is set for release on 1 Dec. Listen to first single ‘Mother Of The End’ below.
