Scattered Ashes announce debut EP ‘All That Is Solid Melts Into Air’
SCATTERED ASHES have announced their debut EP!
Titled All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, the upcoming EP from the Dublin/London-based post-punk band is their debut studio recording, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Blowtorch Records.
The debut EP was recorded at Darklands Audio in Dublin in 2023, produced by Daniel Doherty [FONTAINES D.C., MERYL STREEK] and mastered by Pete Maher [ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, LIAM GALLAGHER]. The EP’s title is taken from a Karl Marx quote: “All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
“Marx was referring to non-economic relationships and aspects of human life in the future, i.e. art, love, food, family, religious conviction or the pursuit of knowledge,” vocalist Rob Dalton explains. “In short, everything that gives us true meaning and fulfilment, and how it will be co-opted by endless expansion and exploitation. This is a future the band believes we are living in.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Kingdom.
Speaking about the new song, Dalton says, “Kingdom is a reflection on the acute sense of loss felt at the end of an intense physical relationship and the possibility of rebirth in its aftermath. The track examines the sanctifying nature of intimacy and how we as humans find our purpose in its ultimate end.”
