The man behind Nobody, Tuomas Kauppinen comments the single: “Saint Devil in the Fields is a rocking jingle-jangle of desolation and megalomania, a singular crooked figure in a field sown with hateful thoughts. It shadows the steps of the by-passer, luring them to doom with whispers of eloquence and promises of total power. It draws blood from the cattle, snatches children at nights and makes the dogs crazy with rabies. And yet during full moon it is worshiped by dozens of villagers, engaging in rites of unspeakable horror to worship their Dark Lord. This is their soundtrack.”
Folk artist Amanda Gonsales enchants with the unveiling of her latest lyrical opus, “Noite Morta,” encapsulated in a visually stunning and emotionally evocative lyric video. “Noite Morta” is taken from the EP, “Sacro,” out via Wormholedeath.
“Noite Morta” (Dead Night) was composed on a cold night, during the winter of 2013, in Évora, southern Portugal. Its lyrics were written exactly in front of the Roman Temple, in a historic complex that also includes the Sé cathedral and the Palace of the Inquisition. The solitude of the beginning night presented me with this song, which on that day, didn’t even intend to become a song yet. Sometime later the melody came out, I can say it was through it that I dared to compose.”Noite Morta” takes me to this scenario, but also to other landscapes that it opens up and allows me. I’m entering. “Noite Morta” touches the cold, the loneliness, the rawness, and hardiness of life, at the same time that it opens us to a mystery, something that is always in suspension, and that carries us to some place where we feel extremely alone and at the same time connected. With all. It’s that place of solitude where we like to be, where at least for a moment we give thanks and realize that we are part of something that is beyond. “Noite Morta” is also a prophecy of death, someone who comes to look for us, the irony that we imagine this great entity would have when it invited us to leave. “Noite Morta” is dark, ironic, deserted, sinister, icy, dense, ethereal, challenging, and peaceful as a last breath should be.”Noite Morta” speaks of our death. A surrender, where we let ourselves be carried away and be part of something much bigger. The peak, which makes us feel extremely connected with life.
Amanda’s artistic expression transcends conventional boundaries, as she invites her audience to embark on a multisensory journey through sound and stage performance, transporting them to realms beyond the ordinary fabric of space and time.

A Glimpse of “Better Than You” Lyrics
You talk about the therapy of time But you haven’t asked how I am since 2018You’re just another foolish geniusBut I’ll say yes to everythingCause I’ve got nothing better to doAnd I make the same mistake I made beforeKeeping one hand frozen on the doorI may be a fool but I’d rather be a jester’Cause man, no one bums me out better than youMan, no one bums me out, better than you
About Diane Louvel:Never underestimate the power of proximity. Growing up in two epicentres of culture, fashion, and music (New York City and Paris), it isn’t exactly a surprise that Diane Louvel ended up a creative artist; what is staggering is the level of mastery she’s achieved in her craft as a singer-songwriter. Weathering the storm of losing her brother (and the loneliness that followed) provided more than some meaningful tunes: it armed her with purpose. The result is spritely, almost effervescent Americana, rooted with a strength only a working woman’s hands that tills the land could have. And with a voice like Joni Mitchell by way of Neko Case, it’s just a matter of time before fans of classic bards like Laura Nyro and Willie Nelson (and contemporaries like Father John Misty and Lana Del Rey) get wise to this rising star in the circuit.
