The New Eve Is Rising by The New Eves
For fans of Lingua Ignota, Me Lost Me, neofolk, and the reclamation of feminine archetypes from across history, The New Eve Is Rising by The New Eves strips folk history of its patriarchal trauma, forming new narratives that inspire hope and ambition. From the beginning, we’re introduced to our main character, the new Eve, a retelling of the Bible’s story of the first sin to repaint Eve as a reasonable person whose choices shouldn’t lie steeped in shame. These messages of empowerment and boldness continue through the record’s stories of love, adventure, and tragedy, culminating in a passionate ode to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Deeply folksy sounds ruled by haunted vocals and dark, pulsing instrumental work set Mary into motion as a genuine, living, human person, disassembling the feminine ideal at the core of our culture and its traumatic implications. Beginning cultural critique from its most subliminal sources ensures liberation a robust role in the future, paving the only realistic path out of the abyss we’ve dug.
