BESTIAL MOUTHS Negative Gain Productions recording artists have most recently released a full remix LP called BACKBONE. Not too manyremix albums maintain the diversity that this particular one does. It exclusively includes tracks from their most recent studio release, ROTT (inmyskin). We're very grateful that vocalist and founding member Lynette joined us for an interview today. Your latest release is called ‘BACKBONE’. It has some intriguing artwork as does its predecessor. What’s the concept behind it? The art work for ROTT (inmyskin) (which stands for Road Of Thousand Tears) is the next in its lineage from INSHROUDDS (cocooned) to RESURRECTEDINBLACK (alive and showing the scars of living) to now. The color palettes are earth tones and darker to represent life and the aging process. Covered in moss to show the length of time but yet moss lives, breathes and continues. Crowned in regular jewelry yet with an edge of sharpness and danger. A reptile (a real live bearded dragon) representing our animal instinct but weathered skin and changing of colors. In a pile of soil to represent being buried or being born. With ‘BACKBONE’, were there factors more important than a remixer's reputation or metrics that went into your selection? BACKBONE we asked upon what grabbed my soul and those I felt so honored to take my babies into new forms. Some approached us and knowing our music reached them so dearly, how could I refuse? Bestial Mouths has an incredibly unique sound. Outside of the goth/industrial/darkwave arena which you are most often associated with, what do you think the most unique musical inspiration is for you? I have never wanted to or tried to recreate a certain sound. I take all I have listened to in the past and present and let it flow through me and let it take its form. I like to think of us as modern dark music. Life is the most inspirational to me, from nature to animals to random sounds or conversations or sculptures, buildings, rocks. Where does the name Bestial Mouths come from? What’s the inspiration? The name comes from my first band called African Greys. It was in a song called ‘POOR POOR POOR’: “Bestial mouths singing to drag in the winter”. I’ve always loved that line, and it just seemed to fit. www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be - 4 -
