Pacific Northwest post-punk trio, DATURA, expand on the tense, synth-heavy sound their first two EPs with their new full-length,\u00a0\u2018Arcano Chemical\u2019. It will be released by Sell The Heart Records\u00a0on January 27, 2022.
\u00a0
Recorded in their hometown of Wenatchee, Washington, and mastered by Seattle-based recording engineer and musician TAD Doyle, the album highlights the band\u2019s range of emotion and stylistic variety, which\u00a0White Light \/\/ White Heat\u00a0calls, “goth-tinged, compelling, energetic and melodic dark post-punk influenced by ’80s greats like The Cure, The Misfits, Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Chameleons.\u201c<\/em>
\u00a0
After finding their show calendar eradicated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the band locked down during the winter of 2020 to craft a pensive collection of songs that tells stories of ghosts, nightmares, isolation, love and death.\u00a0
\u00a0
DATURA has teamed up with Andy Pohl, guitarist of Tsunami Bomb and owner of Sell the Heart Records, to release the album via cassette, CD, and all major streaming platforms.\u00a0
