Deity by Wendy Rule

Wendy Rule is Australian but she creates dark, sensual sonic theatre in the vein of Kurt Weill mixed with torchy 1940s European cabaret. Her lyrics are littered with references to astrological and goddess mythologies, sung in sonorous arcs over keyboard and cello. It`s quite eerie at times, with manic whirling harpsichords, dissonant piano and cutting strings. But this isn`t gloomy or black: Rule is using darkness as an agent for transformation ("I feel your pain, like a driven nail... like the future pulled through an open vein").
