Today Guelph, Ontario hell-raisers BONNIE TRASH release their new album, ‘Mourning You’ via Hand Drawn Dracula. Alongside the album release, they have also shared a new video for “Poison Kiss“.

Bonnie Trash is the project of twin sisters Emmalia & Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, wedding post-punk’s steely-eyed austerity to goth rock’s brooding grandeur. A lifelong project christened in 2017 with the release of ‘Ezzelini’s Dead’, the band’s debut EP which found the pair mining the Trevisan dialect and archaic Italian folklore of their heritage to grisly effect. Where their first full length, ‘Malocchio’ (2022), shrouded Bonnie Trash’s nightmares in dusky dreamlike reverb, ‘Mourning You’ is vivid and immediate. Emboldened by the addition of Emma Howarth-Withers on bass and Dana Bellamy on drums – whose thunderous rhythms sharpened 2024’s ‘My Love Remains the Same’ EP into a fine-edged blade – ‘Mourning You’ is less a post-mortem fantasia than a sudden, swift dagger to the heart.

BONNIE TRASH share new single and video for “Hellmouth,” taken from their forthcoming album, Mourning You, set for release on February 28th on Hand Drawn Dracula.

Following previous single, “Veil of Greed”, today Bonnie Trash (twins Emmalia & Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor) share the howling, urgent new track “Hellmouth” – a song that evokes the gnarled claw of remorse gripping you in twilight’s terror. “I see you in my dreams every night,” Sarafina intones. Were it not for Emmalia’s blown-out Stratocaster, you might mistake those words for the chorus of an old doo-wop standard. The track launches off as a woozy siren song, before pummelling you with anthemic power chords for Sarafina’s self lacerating chorus: “Drag me to hell and back I go.”

BONNIE TRASH share the video for their doomy, atmospheric cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ classic track “Red Right Hand”, paying homage to John Carpenter with the accompanying visuals. The track is taken from their new EP, ‘My Love Remains the Same’ – out now on Hand Drawn Dracula.

Bonnie Trash is the darkened shoegaze/post-punk drone project led by twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor. If your high-school MP3 player featured tracks from Black Sabbath, PJ Harvey, doom metal legends Pentagram, or even shoegazey soft-rockers Slowdive, you’ll enjoy their unique flavour of rock. The recent addition of longtime friends Emma Howarth-Withers (bass) and Dana Bellamy (drums) gives the group a new lavish and layered sound, with this expanded lineup featured on the forthcoming EP.

‘My Love Remains the Same’ EP explores the impossibly heavy subject of love and loss and was announced with the ethereal single “Kisses Goodbye.” Today, however, they share the EP’s cacophonous closing track, “Red Right Hand”. Taking on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds‘ most loved track is an ambitious move, but the Ontario band show they’re up to it with this contrasting and powerful take. Chugging guitars and echoing squalls of feedback accentuate the original song’s foreboding mood, while Sarafina’s evocative vocal delivery weaves an air of perilous suspense.

Speaking on the track and accompanying video, Emmalia and Sarafina comment: “A minimalist doom take on Red Right Hand, This rendition is an homage to John Carpenter–invoking a monster that inflicts its dark and divine, desirable vengeance on the listener. Anger and resentment is readily accessible when feeling the loss of love. This is our demon.”

BONNIE TRASH, Canadian-Italian twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, share “Shades Of You” video from their new Hail, Hale! EP out March 1st worldwide via Hand Drawn Dracula.

The EP is also included as bonus tracks on the new deluxe CD edition of their debut album Malocchio, also out March 1st via France’s dark wave / goth imprint Unknown Pleasures Records (EU/UK).

Commenting on the track and video, the band say: “This song is about the bumps on your skin when you’re scared and the jolt in your legs just before you fall asleep. Who or what is causing this? Something or someone is haunting you and it lingers. We initially shot the video with the idea of being delivered from a sea of ghosts. The video shows how the curse travelled to reach its next heirs, taking on many different shades of fear and forms. Never doubt the ghosts who follow you. “

BONNIE TRASH is the drone-rock project of Canadian-Italian twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor. Today they share new single “Perfect Moment (A Beautiful Reunion)” from their debut album, ‘Malocchio’, to be released on October 28th via Hand Drawn Dracula.

‘Malocchio’ unspools a real-life horror story based on the stories told to them by their Italian grandmother. Over heavy, hypnotic riffs, pounding drums and spooky soundscapes, the lyrics pull the listener into the meaning of the “evil eye,” a hex of malice onto another.

Speaking on today’s new single, with accompanying video shot and directed by Sam Maloney, the band comment: “How do you see yourself dying? How do others see you dying? How does it feel to be left to die, when there’s nothing else you can do, waiting for that ‘perfect’ moment of one last euphoria: a beautiful reunion. This song is a genuflection to all of the nonni who passed during the pandemic and could not be held.”
