"Stunning musical and, in particular, six-string intricacy... layers of lush, ringing, occasionally grimy and often heavily effected guitars"~Guitar World
"Guitarist Michael Ciravolo assembled an all-star cast for his moody hard-hitting album... Intense" ~Rolling Stone
"Hauntingly heavy and beautiful"–LA Weekly
"A dream team of musicians, taking us on a sonic journey that blends haunting melodies with crushing riffs. Catchy hooks, superb melodicism" ~ The Spill Magazine
The ever-evolving, always revolving, world-wide entity known asBeauty In Chaospresents the latest offering from their latest album ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’, recently released via33.3 Music Collective.'Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic)' features BIC alumniAshton NyteandWhitney Tai.
Based in Los Angeles, Beauty In Chaos formed in 2018 by guitaristMichael Ciravolo(formerly ofHuman DramaandGene Loves Jezebeland current President ofSchecter Guitars) with Grammy-nominated producerMichael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), who also mixed and co-produced Ministry’s new ‘Squirrelly Years Revisited’album.
In following with BIC's modus operandi, ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’is a supersized 29-track Limited Edition double-CD, featuring re-envisioned versions of tracks from their fourth studio release,'Dancing With Angels', in addition to two bonus tracks ('Children Of The Revolution' featuringMinistry’s Al Jourgensenand'Open Your Eyes', paying homage toT.Rex / Marc Bolan andThe Lords of the New Church, respectively).
“I absolutely love that we are able to create these ‘stripped-down’ versions of some of our songs, and more so, just how well these are received by our loyal BIC Family! The original version is very special and is probably my favorite song on ‘Dancing With Angels’, but there is also something really beautiful about this ‘almost acoustic’ version," says BIC curatorMichael Ciravolo.
"Ashton and Whitney’s ‘duet’ is simply stunning, their voices totally complimenting each other. I love the track’s minimalistic approach, highlighted by Michael Rozon’s haunting pedal steel and BIC newcomer Heather Lockie’s tasteful violin. Tish’s rock-solid acoustic bass and my quasi ‘pink floyd’ inspired guitar lines support, without distracting, letting Ashton’s words and melody take the starring role!”
This new stunning rendition offers a delicate and emotional take on the song’soriginal version(the closing track on'Dancing With Angels'). Directed byVicente Cordero (Industrialism Films), the warm endearing video was filmed by Fernando Cordero and edited byRyan Conlon. Michael Ciravolo shares “As always, we strive to make the new video drastically different from its predecessor, and the simple ‘lounge’ setting seemed fitting for this intimate track, certainly a polar opposite to the bombastic sonic and visual overload of “Hollow”, and as usual, Vicente helped bring this vision to life!”
"'Made Of Rain' is a song of hope. It is about getting up and trying again despite the scars life can leave. This "almost acoustic version" is very dear to me. I love the organic elements present: the pedal steel, violin, and, of course, Whitney Tai's beautiful, ethereal voice elevate this piece, making it something transcendental. Similarly, the video shoot was an almost spiritual experience. A celebration of friends and art. What more can you ask for?” asksAshton NyteofThe Awakening, who will soon tour Europe in support of the band'sself-titled album.
“Made Of Rain” is a warm amber glow in a velveteen speakeasy where tales of folk and longing send a message from the beyond. There’s a wisdom and a patience in Ashton’s voice. His lyrics swarmed in the magic of Beauty In Chaos’ production for the acoustic version hits different. Doing this duet with Ashton is a dream, as he is someone with the vocal tenacity of the wisest tree in the forest. Together, it felt like we planted wildflowers in a gentle field. What made this collab special for me apart from the music is the friendship that Michael, Ashton and I share. We are family and making art with feeling is at the forefront of our passions," saysWhitney Tai, who appears on many BIC tracks. Her latest single'Slumber Party' is out now, previewing her third full-length album'American Wasteland' (out in September).
Beauty In Chaos also recently shared‘Hollow’ (Crimson Cupid Mix)’ featuring Cynthia Isabella(ofSilence In The SnowandLost Gems). Past BIC releases involve members ofThe Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls,dUg Pinnick, ICE-T,Rolan Bolan, andZakk Wylde.
