Our second single is officially out on all major streaming platforms! ✝ ✝ ✝ Titled "Can These Dry Bones Live?", it takes inspiration from a Bible quote we found at the Old Calton burial ground (2 Timothy 1:13), a painting at the Tate Britain museum (which references Ezekiel 37:3) and general pondering on mortality - what will be left of us after we're gone in the grand scale of the universe? Will our mundane problems and relationship even matter that much? How shall we be remembered or interpreted through future cultural lenses of understanding? Initially planned to be a side B to our first single "Feeble". It took a bit longer than we thought to perfect and polish, yet we're extremely content with how it turned out and joyous to finally share with the world 🪽 With a special touch of organ magic by @morgan.kluck.keil as well as your usual Black Widow, Spooky brother Julian and White Widow antics you all know too well at this point 🤍 🖤 Happy Lent my beloved ✝

"I love to think of myself as a shapeshifter, and depending on each given day it can really be something different. "Overall I understand there's multitudes within me, just as everyone else, but at certain times one aspect or another puts itself to the forefront. "Sometimes I see a feminine being, other times a more androgynous person. "Sometimes a human in flesh, and other a disembodied conciousness. "At moments it's frustrating when I can't exactly express how I feel through what I wish to be seen, but I'm learning to make peace with it by cultivating a deep inner knowing of self." Marta // Edinburgh April 2026 Such a beautiful day at the blossom festival last weekend with @orchidhybride and @reichmt - so much thanks to the ultimate muse Marta for her extra glamorous workout, to Raquel for assisting, and always, always to the golden hour. 💛📸 After a long and lingering and somewhat self-imposed hiatus, this is the second of many more to come of this reflective portraiture project. Inspired by the song of the same name, it is based around its themes, including: beauty, identity, darkness, reflection and fear. More to come.. and look out for the full interview with Marta later! Set 1/3 All shot live in-camera, no photoshopping or AI! 🤗 #portrait #photography #identity #life #death
