Monte Luna announce new album ‘Drowners Wives’

MONTE LUNA have announced a new album!

Titled Drowners Wives, the upcoming album from the Austin-based atmospheric doom duo and is scheduled to be released in October this year.

Recorded and mixed at the Matador Studios in San Antonio Texas, with a master by CONAN‘s Chris Fielding at Skyhammer Studios, the band just recently unveiled that the new album songs may be shorter than usual, but reaching deep into your soul with a sledge of the heavy as hell doom sounds.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming album; titled The Water Hag. Speaking about the song, the band says, “our friend Becky Cloonan did a really cool comic book not too long ago called By Chance or Providence, that combined with our love for The Witcher Series is the main inspiration for the song thematically, it also loosely deals with the idea of a loved one that becomes toxic, that no longer brings you up. They begin to drag you under the weight of their insecurities and how sometimes it feels best to just stay in a relationship even though you know they are draining you. If you are someone who has a tendency to rescue people then this may speak to you on another level.”
