DEATH VALLEY GIRLS – Sisters Of The Moon / Fire And Brimstone – 7” – Transparent Red Vinyl

7” – Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Transparent Red Vinyl.

When we last heard from Southern California’s rock n’ roll sorcerers Death Valley Girls, band orchestrator and mastermind Bonnie Bloomgarden wassummoning the element of water and celebrating its tempestuous power on the triumphant 2023 single ‘I Am a Wave.’ Surrounded by a new cast of supportingmusicians, Bloomgarden returns from a brief hiatus to pay homage to the magic of celestial bodies and to honour yet another classical element on a new two song single.

On side A, Death Valley Girls cover the Fleetwood Mac track ‘Sisters of the Moon,’ harnessing the original version’s witchy mystery while bolsteringits thunderous chorus by beefing up its ominous riffage. Bloomgarden’s channelling of Stevie Nicks is downright eerie, pulling off such a striking timbral similarity you might almost mistake this rendition as a more electrified and tripped-out alternate take from the original Tusk sessions.

On the flipside, DeathValley Girls pay reverence to the element of fire by taking on the Link Wray classic ‘Fire and Brimstone,’ summoning the original’s swagger while transformingits tent-revival stomp into a mash-up of Phil Spector’s girl-group majesty, Motown’s hip-shaking soul, and punk’s bombast. Surrounded by an ensemble oflike-minded celestial witches, Bloomgarden takes Death Valley Girls’ sound to new heights while elevating two beloved ’70s tunes into modern day religiousexperiences.
