Mimi Barks releases new single ‘BANSHEE’

Doom Trap artist Mimi Barks has unveiled a brand new single from her debut album, the aptly named ‘THIS IS DOOM TRAP’, which is out on Friday 26th September via Silent Cult. The new single entitled ‘BANSHEE’ showcases a new side to her music with a move away from the aggressive brash nature of previous releases to a more venerable output filled with soft haunting melodies and rocked up choruses.

Along with the release, Mimi Barks shares the following statement,

“A scream much like the sirens of death.

A piercing voice prophesying your approaching demise. 

This ethereal noise is your death sentence. 

Coming at you like the ultrasonic squeaks of a bat.

And when your heart stops beating and nobody will be there for their last goodbye, you won’t find me. 

A broken childhood, a motherless orphan.

You failed as a parent now I falter as a child.

And you’ve chosen this path. Drowned every new promise in a bigger sip.

A Wormgirl, unwanted. Birthed into hopelessness. With my torso open for a second and my heart on display. It was yours for the taking and you routed a stake through it. 

And I died a thousand times. Took refuge in my chrysalis where I licked up the taste of iron in the red; healed my wounds.

Reincarnated into the Promised Land. Emerge into something bigger than I was destined for. 

The moth dies so the butterfly can exist.”
