Submersive

Album from Sub Pub Music Publishing.

“Evocative, emotional and haunting”, Submersive is an orchestral and ethereal album with folk and celtic influences, featuring ethnic lyrics from various singers. Submersive “focuses on the bare, naked and delicate yet powerful female timbre. With melancholy, somber and solemn undertones these vocal tracks will pull you in and hypnotize you. Tales of deep misery are told, not with words, but with the unspoken art of vocal timbres expressed eloquently and heartfelt by some of the worlds top vocalists.”

A tragic love story set in the modern West. It follows the life of Angel, a beautiful but damaged Paiute Indian woman who was lead to live desperately on the edge after having been raped. Earning a living in a topless bar called the Round-Up, Angel tries her best to raise her son, Gas, the ill-begotten son of the tragic rape. When Gas is fourteen he runs away from home and is picked up by a hard-up cowboy, Twisty, who was present on the fateful night 14 years ago. Twisty relates the tragic romance he had with his mother, elucidating many unanswered questions for the boy.
