BONNIE TRASH share the video for their doomy, atmospheric cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ classic track “Red Right Hand”, paying homage to John Carpenter with the accompanying visuals. The track is taken from their new EP, ‘My Love Remains the Same’ – out now on Hand Drawn Dracula.
Bonnie Trash is the darkened shoegaze/post-punk drone project led by twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor. If your high-school MP3 player featured tracks from Black Sabbath, PJ Harvey, doom metal legends Pentagram, or even shoegazey soft-rockers Slowdive, you’ll enjoy their unique flavour of rock. The recent addition of longtime friends Emma Howarth-Withers (bass) and Dana Bellamy (drums) gives the group a new lavish and layered sound, with this expanded lineup featured on the forthcoming EP.
‘My Love Remains the Same’ EP explores the impossibly heavy subject of love and loss and was announced with the ethereal single “Kisses Goodbye.” Today, however, they share the EP’s cacophonous closing track, “Red Right Hand”. Taking on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds‘ most loved track is an ambitious move, but the Ontario band show they’re up to it with this contrasting and powerful take. Chugging guitars and echoing squalls of feedback accentuate the original song’s foreboding mood, while Sarafina’s evocative vocal delivery weaves an air of perilous suspense.
Speaking on the track and accompanying video, Emmalia and Sarafina comment: “A minimalist doom take on Red Right Hand, This rendition is an homage to John Carpenter–invoking a monster that inflicts its dark and divine, desirable vengeance on the listener. Anger and resentment is readily accessible when feeling the loss of love. This is our demon.”
