Death Valley Girls @ SXSW (Paul Bachmann for Live4ever)
Death Valley Girls are streaming Breakthrough, the title-track of a new EP which has been given a release date of June 12th.
“Breakthrough is a song we were super into then became obsessed with once we found the lyrics,” Bonnie Bloomgarden says. “They are about breaking free from an invisible prison. At the time, we were studying Damien Echols, of the West Memphis 3, and his ability to overcome being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned on death row for 18 years. He became a magician, master meditator, and learned how to astral project. We asked him for a few tips on how energy, intention, and music can keep you strong in these strange times.”
