If you’ve ever wanted to hear the vibe of doom-laden bands like Subrosa blended with the sonic approach of bands like True Widow, L.A,’s Faetooth is the perfect band for you. The band terms their special brand of spookiness “fairy-doom,” a fitting term that definitely wins Decibel‘s endorsement. To that end, we are happy to present Faetooth’s latest track, “Death of Day.”
According to the band, the song:
“came to be after reading into the deity, Lilith. I was initially transfixed to the myth of her spawning from the “dregs”, or lowest realm of evil. I perceived that as her coming from the dirt, the earth, and having to confront a life where her very existence is viewed as malevolence, as ugliness. She is cast out into isolation from the moment she came into being. I began to view that as a strong parallel to the existence of queer and trans people in a world that is constantly trying to exterminate and diminish them.
To speak to the lyrics specifically, they are written as a bit of ode to the Lilith archetype, and simultaneously celebrating and lamenting her forced seclusion from society. The first verse is about her coming into being, how she can only come out at night, and then the second verse is like, yeah, you all hate me, I’m gonna bring all my friends that you also deem as a scourge on society, fuck you.”
