The Irish word Rún can mean secret, mystery, or love, or perhaps some elusive combination of the three, reflecting the many aspects of life that defy easy explanation. In wrestling with these, it can become necessary to commit oneself entirely, to jump in at the psychic deep end in search of the vibrations and feelings at hand. This is where the band Rún come in – and today Rocket Recordings are proud to announce their self titled debut full-length arriving 22nd August.
As a preview of their album, the band share the album’s centrepiece “Terror Moon” on which a thunderous percussive backdrop is matched in intensity by potent chants and mantric ululations from Tara as well a ferocious tumult of layered noise and fevered invective.
“Terror Moon confronts us with the image of the unblinking eye of a dead horse, juxtaposed with oranges rotting on the branches of the groves in Jaffa after their Palestinian custodians were evicted by Israeli settlers” relate the band, “The song is a reflection on the inhuman treatment routinely inflicted on both human and non-human entities.”
