Projekt Records announces “To Touch The Milky Way;” The 12th full-length release from Black Tape For a Blue Girl.
Evocative, powerful and melancholic, BlackTape’s 12th studio album expands upon their sweeping Art Rock aesthetic. Songwriter and bandleader Sam Rosenthal’s electro-acoustic atmospherics and foreboding, engaging lyricism focus the band as they enter their 32nd year with an album encompassing powerful personal and transpersonal themes.
Non-binary porn star Mercy West portrays the androgynous alien traveler in Rosenthal’s photography; the booklet contain 10 pages of striking photos the duo shot at locations throughout Oregon. “The photos externalize the feelings of isolation, alienation and longing within the lyrics,” Rosenthal says. “Mercy’s character is a stark representation of our struggles, lost within a larger self-defined world that work to limit our true nature.”
