Kristin Hayter has today released a new Lingua Ignota record called Epistolary Grieving for Jimmy Swaggart for Bandcamp Friday. The 4-track EP follows her recent album Sinner Get Ready, whose song ‘Perpetual Flame of Centralia’ used a sample of disgraced televangelist Jimmy Swaggart. Stream Epistolary Grieving for Jimmy Swaggart below.
Talking about the new project, Hayter wrote on her Bandcamp page:
I STARTED WRITING LETTERS TO JIMMY IN OCTOBER 2021 AS A WAY TO PROCESS TRAUMA, ELIMINATE SELF DOUBT, AND AUGMENT THE CIPHERS AND THEMES OF SINNER GET READY. THIS IS INTENTIONALLY NOT ABOUT MUSIC, IT IS ABOUT LANGUAGE AND IMAGE, AND HOW MEANING SHIFTS BETWEEN MEDIUMS, WHO IS SPEAKING AND WHO IS BEING SPOKEN TO.
