“Glossolalia” by Wild Blessing

Ahead of the release of their new album, From Dust, Wild Blessing are sharing new single “Glossolalia.” The track Features Chad Clark (Beauty Pill), Tara Pasveer, and Carmen Elisa Vargas of the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra, “Glossolalia,” the word itself—derived from the Greek glōssa (“tongue”) and lalia (“speech”)—refers to the phenomenon of speaking in tongues, a fitting metaphor for the song’s exploration of marginalized voices and the often-fragile effort to be understood. Ben Etter, known for his work with acts such as Washed Out, Belle and Sebastian, Cate Le Bon, and Deerhunter, handled mixing and mastering duties. From Dust drops on June 5th.
Wild Blessing on “Glossolalia:”
“I came across the word glossolalia recently and fell in love with the phonetics of it before I knew what it meant. It felt like a good way to explore an intuition I sometimes have that communication is often less about words and their meaning than trying to make contact. The song is also about all the people who live on the margins of society that few people take the time to listen to.”
