Bonnie Trash is the drone-rock project of twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor. Their 2022 debut album πΈππππππππ unspools a real-life horror story based on the stories told to them by their Italian grandmother. Over heavy, hypnotic riffs, pounding drums and spooky soundscapes, the lyrics pull the listener into the meaning of the "evil eye," a hex of malice onto another. Can you ever escape a curse?
Sonically, πΈππππππππ connects the threads between metal, post-punk, shoegaze and gothic rock, with Emmaliaβs guitar work recalling the likes of Black Sabbath, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. Singer/drummer/lyricist Sarafinaβs voice leaps out of the mix with a commanding presence, summoning hints of PJ Harvey or Siouxsie & the Banshees.
πΈππππππππ is out October 28, 2022 on Hand Drawn Dracula.
