Lingua Ignota Covers Chris Isaak

With all the horniness in the air yesterday because of that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion video, it was easy to miss things like the surprise Krallice album or this absolutely haunting rendition of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" from experimental metal and noise artist Lingua Ignota.  This version lays operatic vocals over soft piano and a warped sample of Krzysztof Penderecki's "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima."  It also features some backing vocals from Daughters' Alexis Marshall.  It's awesome.  Check it out below and get it here.

RIP Krzysztof Penderecki

I totally missed this until i saw that a couple of friends had posted about it online yesterday, but influential Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki passed away over the weekend.  His most famous composition is probably "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima," segments of which were used in Kubrick's "The Shining," and Lynch's "Twin Peaks: The Return."  It's a haunting and terrifying piece of music, and it pretty much can totally soundtrack our current timeline.  RIP Penderecki.
