Babel Map premieres brand new ‘Pazuzu’ video on Side-Line
Babel Map
The goth/gloomgaze punk Babel Map premieres its newest video for the track “Pazuzu” on Side-Line. The track is taken from the album “Teeth” to be released via Lost Future Records on November 1st.
The single is also available via Bandcamp.
“Teeth”, Babel Map’s forthcoming 3rd album, was recorded by Kurt Ballou (God City Studio, Converge) and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna) in the spring of 2024. Prior to beginning the writing of Teeth, the group describes this chapter as an evolutionary time for them as a change in lineup allowed for a progressive increase in experimentation with song structure.
About Babel Map
The band originally began in 2011 as a trip hop/electric solo project of Jessica Drummer based out of Philadelphia, PA. She then relocated to Harrisburg, PA and began playing live in 2015 where she was able to begin networking and playing with others. After a few changes in lineup, Steph Werner (guitarist since 2018 and Michael Stipe (bassist since 2019) quickly became a collaborative band where the sound changed into a Shoegaze/post-metal mix.
They recorded their first album, Raw Tomato, My Heart (released 2020) with Ian Scheila at Headroom Studios Philadelphia while building their live show experiences until the shut down of Covid-19. During this time, “Cancel This!” (released 2022) was written, and quickly recorded right after the world rise from the pandemic.
Due to change of lineup, the band began to write Teeth with electronic drums (produced by Michael Stipe) in 2023 as a trio. Brian Doherty later joined and began writing and producing percussion for the album and continues to play live today.
“Teeth” will be available on LP, CD and streaming on November, 1st, 2024 via Lost Future Records.
