“Golden
Vines & Honey Wine”, a ritual play with music and
text performed by the experimental folk band GODDESS, will run
at autoversion ltd. gallery from October 10-13 at 8PM. The one-hour
proto-mythic piece speaks of the sadness at summer’s end,
when faced again with endless dark months of bone-chilling winter.
Twelve seductive and harsh songs are peppered with incantations,
Greek choruses, and harsh one-liners to tell the tale of the
beauteous Summer Queen who faces the return of the Haymaker
and her inevitable death. It is a minimalist spectacle of renewal
and decay. Lavish costuming brings to life the icy, hypnotic
Winter Queen, gruesome zombie-like Haymaker, and caped, silent
Mage. The wizard battle between the Summer and Winter Queens,
complete with torn ball gowns and accompanying lap dulcimer
variations, may just be the cat-fight of the century. “Golden
Vines” provides the comfort of gruesome pageant.
GODDESS is a grim-humored Brooklyn-based quartet that plays
sweet, catchy songs with creepy undertones. They use a homemade
horsehair fiddle, old casio keyboards and a lap dulcimer to
evoke a spare and rough sound. Their songs are a window into
a wooded nightmare glen that looks like it belongs to one of
the subjects in “Brother’s Keeper.” GODDESS
sings fairytales gone wrong. The lonely, autumnal sound of two
intertwining female voices draws on madrigals, appalaccian folk
music, church processionals and soft psychedelia. There songs
are about death, obsession, and folk legends of New Jersey like
the Green Hook Man. The elegance of GODDESS’ sparse, contrapuntal
compositions allows the songs to transcend the realm of derivative.
GODDESS has played shows at the Sculpture Center (2006), Chashama
Gallery (2007) and Monkytown (2007). GODDESS released their
first album in 2007, produced by David Grubbs.
