CURSES “ELEGANT DEATH“

Music & Lyrics By LUCA VENEZIA Bass By DAME BONNET Produced By CURSES & JOHNNY JEWEL Mixed By JOHNNY JEWEL Album Cover Art By PATTY CARROLL Mastered By MIKE BOZZI Lyrics: Don’t try to tell me I haven’t seen death before It’s always knocking Knocking at my door Soft spoken Until the end Hearts bleeding Into the earth Don’t try to tell me I haven’t seen death before It’s always knocking Knocking at my door Soft spoken Until the end Feel nothing Until we burn Don’t try to tell me I haven’t seen death before It’s always knocking Knocking at my door Dont try to tell me Have and saw before Nel buio nel cielo blu Come il sole si cade giu A heart of glass A heart of stone Don’t try to tell me I haven’t seen death before It’s always knocking Knocking at my door Curses makes cinematic New Wave, threading the visceral connection between 1980’s Goth & melancholic Post-Punk to the DIY bass heavy energy of Electronic Body Music. “Death has a looming & dark reputation, it’s always there, but embracing the elegance in its romantic ceremony, & aesthetic of funerals in Italy is something that has always captured me growing up between NYC & Sicily. There is a beauty in the legacy of a person’s story that death leaves behind. I’ve lost many friends, & I’ve had to face the reality that all of us eventually leave. Overcoming the fear of death has allowed me to appreciate the importance of now, creating memories through music, to be remembered beyond when that time comes to eventually say goodbye.“ - LUCA VENEZIA
