With an uncanny name that reminds an old theme already recurrent since the old Greece, a clear prefiguration of the clash between Eros and Thanatos, later also the subject for iconic artists of the likes of Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele and Joseph Beuys, the Dunedin-based New Zealanders 3-piece Death And The Maiden, made of Lucinda King, Hope Robertson and Danny Brady, have just released the lead single “Oooh Baby In The Chorus” from their forthcoming sophomore album “Wisteria” due out late April via Fishrider Records.
