Zohra Atash (Azar Swan, Religious to Damn) has announced Murder In The Temple, her debut solo album as Zohra. It will be out March 17 via American Dreams.
The announcement arrives with the album’s title track, which features lyrics and vocals from No Wave icon Lydia Lunch and a striking Jasmine Hirst-directed music video that juxtaposes the two artists against their own visual artworks and surrealist photomontages.
Expanding on the collaboration, Zohra shared the following statement: “When I asked Lydia if she would lend her talent to the track – it was without any expectation, and I really had no idea if it would work. She subliminally caught on to the current running through the piece and went with condemning acts of violence in the name of God, and unbeknownst to her, I was painting a sonic world of the Abrahamic religion-super believing zealot / enthusiast. So ‘Murder In The Temple’ is Lydia Lunch reminding the peons and the plebs to get their shit together.”
