Black Tapestry

Black Tapestry is an homage to the texture of darkness. Surrounded by the cacti and juniper of northern Arizona, the duo craft songs that invite the listener into the desolate cradle of the desert.

With musical backgrounds reaching as wide as the southwest horizon, their art expresses elements from all genres from classical to punk rock. They integrate dynamic live instrumentation of guitar, bass and vocals with the coarse, cold pulsing of electronic drums and synthesis. The result is an amalgamation best categorized under the umbrella of post-punk, one which calls inspiration in from Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy.

Immersed fully in the blazing bleakness of the desert motif, they offer simple yet poetic portrayals of the barren West. Many tracks lyrically demonstrate a literal observation of the wonder of nature, but also underly the volatile and unsustainable ways of modern life.

Formed in the fall of 2021, the band now prepares to offer their first fully self-released album, 'Monsoon' on June 3, 2022. Their debut sonic offering will be the single 'Knife City', a sultry and dark tune evoking elements of musical theatre and dystopian surf rock. It will hit streaming platforms on April 22, 2022.
