DEAR MOTHER announces EP ‘NECESSARY DARKNESS’
01-12-2023
Following their successful debut album ‘Bulletproof’, DEAR MOTHER now announce their upcoming EP ‘Necessary Darkness’, due to be released on April 19th. The band features guitar prodigy Merel Bechtold, alongsinde singer David Pear and guitarist Ferry Duijsens.
‘2023 was a very difficult year for us as individuals. Life threw a curveball at a couple of us and it made 2023 another strange and difficult year. For me personally it was one of the toughest years filled with anxiety and sadness. On the bright side these dark emotions spark a lot of creativity. For me it’s the way to acknowledge my emotions and to process my feelings.
Music is therapy. And I’m sure it’s the same way for you, maybe not as a creator, but as a listener. So we all can’t wait to start fresh in 2024 with the release of the EP and a couple of (sold out) shows in NL. And of course we have Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze planned for summer 2024! Holy shitttt!!’ – Merel Bechtold (guitarist)
