Death Valley Girls announce new album ‘Welcome To Earth’
DEATH VALLEY GIRLS have announced a brand new album!
The Los Angeles-based psychedelic rock outfit have revealed their new album, Welcome To Earth, which is scheduled for release on October 9th via Suicide Squeeze Records. The upcoming record follows 2023’s Islands In The Sky and was inspired by the California wildfires that destroyed vocalist Bonnie Bloomgarden‘s home in Altadena, as well as the subsequent loss of her beloved dog, Tommy.
To coincide with the announcement, the band have also unveiled Message From The Venus Flower, the lead single from the upcoming album.
Speaking about the new single, Bonnie Bloomgarden shares, “after the fire, Tommy, my best friend and dog, was not the same. I didn’t bring her medicine when we evacuated cause I didn’t bring anything, even my phone or car. My landlord, who lived in the house in front, drove us to her friend’s house, and it was weeks before we could go back. And when we could go back, everything was destroyed. I wasn’t sure if she was hurting because she wasn’t on her medicine, or if she was scared, or if she didn’t know why we left our home and was mad at me!
Previously, we had done sessions with Animal Communicator Amy Wild, and they really helped. They had a session a month or so after the fire, and Tommy tried to tell me that her body didn’t matter, our connection was eternal, because we were eternal souls that reincarnate and meet up in many lifetimes, and moreover, we are always connected and together. The illusion of separation is a very earthly human concept. I told her I don’t care about our souls, I just wanted to know if her body was ok!!
Less than a year later, she left her body. I was broken. I had officially lost everything to 2025. After lying in bed wallowing, I decided I needed to try some life. I went on our normal walk and passed by a flower, a butterfly pea (Venus flower.) As I stood there, the flower sent me a message like a lightning bolt to my brain! In an instant the flower shared with me what Tommy had been trying to explain! The flower explained it: IS Tommy. Everything I love is Tommy, because love isn’t just something you feel, share, or do; love is more like a dimension! anything that gives me the feeling I get when I think of Tommy IS her. Because love isn’t just something you feel, share, or do, love is more like a dimension! And you tap into it, or remember often most easily through a physical manifestation like Tommy!”
