The 13-track record, their first in nine years, was written & produced by Johnny Jewel in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, CA and mixed by Vaughn Oliver, it will be out on May 3 via Italians Do It Better featuring the previously shared singles ‘Black Latex’, ‘Zeros’, and the title track. Grab it here.
Escape was inspired by the ominous, vivid aura of 1970s giallo films (think Dario Argento’s masterpieces Suspiria and Deep Red). Almost as if they were soundtracking a campy slasher of their own, the band’s Megan Louise and Johnny Jewel used an array of electronic instruments on Escape, including a Minikorg, Jupiter 8, 909, Mellotron, Simmons Rhythm Modules, String Machine, a D-50, and Fender Rhodes. Implementing girl group melodies, children’s choirs, and Louise’s trilingual lyrics, Escape is a project that only Desire could make.
