ØXN, the experimental doom folk band comprising Lankum's Radie Peat, Katie Kim, John 'Spud' Murphy and Eleanor Myler, have released an epic nine-and-a-half minute long single, Cruel Mother, ahead of their eagerly anticipated debut album release next month - watch the stunning video, starring legendary actress Olwen Fouéré above.
ØXN say of the track: "Cruel Mother is a traditional song, possibly originating from the mid-18th century, intended at the time as a cautionary tale. Women were considered criminals if they had illegitimate children; were considered demonic rather than suffering from mental illness or distress. It’s a song of persecution, abuse, infantilism and guilt based on the version by Andy the Doorbum."
ØXN's debut album CYRM is released on October 27th
