**SANGRE DE MUÉRDAGO NEW ALBUM NEWS!**
We’re delighted to share the premiere of a new single from Sangre de Muérdago today. As one of our 2023 artists in residence this Galician ensemble will perform three times across the Roadburn weekend; one of those performances will be centred around their brand new, upcoming album O VENTO QUE LAMBE AS MIÑAS FERIDAS.
For over 15 years Sangre de Muérdago have been crafting their intimate and distinctive take on folk music; the upcoming album will be their sixth full length. Their thoughtful missives look backwards towards the musical heritage that has helped shaped them, but they have one eye on the future and how these sounds and stories will be remembered in years to come.
The single we’re sharing today is taken from that album, and is titled Wo sich Fuchs und Hase gute Nacht sagen. As Sangre de Muérdago main man Pablo C Ursusson tells us, the song holds a personal meaning for him:
[This is] a song that was initially born after getting to know the news of a person killed for their sexual orientation in a town I call home. Yet the song is lyrically written through the eyes and wishes of different animals, I hope the deep meaning of this song comes through the words and melodies in it found. An embrace to diversity, that everyone that has been feeling “different” does it with confidence and conviction.
"There shall be no burden in our heart choices, we owe to ourselves to trust the signs that our hearts are giving us. So, let's live our lives in plenitude, respect and honour each other, free ourselves to live and love and feel our own way, no matter what anybody could think about it. There's only one way to feel different, which is the good way. In loving memory of all victims of hatred, regardless of their species, and dedicated to all those who dare to try to reach the impossible to turn it into possible.”
Pre-orders for O VENTO QUE LAMBE AS MIÑAS FERIDAS will be available in due course, and the album will be released via the band’s own labelMúsica Máxica, as well as Throne Records and Neuropa Records.
