Womb and Flying Nun Records are very proud to announce their exciting new partnership in this release of the Holding a Flame EP — out digitally on June 23rd, 2021.
Womb are a trio from Pōneke, consisting of Gemini twins Charlotte Forrester (they/them; vocals & guitar) and Haz Forrester (he/him; synth), and their Leo sister Georgette Brown (she/they; drums). Moving between spaces from shoegaze to dream pop, Womb's ethereal, genre-transcending sound is a vortex of divergent influences enchanted by a supernatural sibling synergy — felt in the screams of melancholia, swells of tenderly caressed guitar, delay-drenched synthscapes, and off-kilter percussion.
Holding a Flame is a collection of songs written by the Pōneke-based trio over the last couple of years. Originally anticipated to be a part of an album, the songs felt complete when placed together, as something of their own.
“We recorded them on and off, while collectively listening to a whole lot of Cocteau Twins (as always), Blood Orange, and The Cure. As with most of our songs, these were written as a form of transmutation; turning discordant feelings into a unified sound as a means of getting through/past various states of being.”
