Canadian-Italian drone duo Bonnie Trash have announced Malocchio, their debut album arriving October 28 on Hand Drawn Dracula. Alongside the album announcement, they've also shared a shadowy, ritualistic video for new single "Have You Seen Her."
In press materials, the duo said the album is inspired by the life story of Nonna Maria, their 93-year-old grandmother, and the curse her family carried. New single "Have You Seen Her" is about "the tragic loss of a loved one, longing to be with them, and wondering where they've ended up," the duo said. "Above the clouds? Below the earth? A new (to us) dimension? Death is the only thing we know to be true in this world. Precious memories here are what we hold onto. When our loves are taken from us by what may be a curse, it's only natural that we want to find a way to reverse it, and reunite with them in harmony."
About the video — directed by Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor — Bonnie Trash said:
The music video plays out like a sci-fi involving an alternate dimension/timeline. Using the same idea of the malocchio that haunted our nonna decades ago, what does it look like when conjured by generations later in the future, and can this generational haunting finish once and for all? We see two siblings confront the malocchio head-on, only for it to follow once more. The curse has become a part of them. Do not be afraid.
Malocchio was co-produced by the band and Josh Korody at Korody's Candle Recording in Toronto. It includes the previously shared single "Teeth."
