Sour Widows have released “Choke Chain,” the track is of the duo’s forthcoming album, Sigil, available October 23rd via Julia’s War Recordings (They Are Gutting a Body of Water). “In Egyptian mythology, when someone dies, the god Anubis weighs their heart against a feather to determine the fate of their soul – I like to think that when I’m dead, the relationships that caused me hurt will probably feel amusing,” Susanna Thomson explains. “It’s difficult to talk about the inherent consequences of desire as a woman without projections of cynicism and misogyny. The lyrics say it best.”

Sigil was recorded with Jay Som mastermind Melina Duterte (boygenius) in downtown Los Angeles. The album is available for pre-order on tape, CD, and vinyl, including a Julia’s War exclusive splatter vinyl limited to 200 copies. Sour Widows are hitting the road this fall in support of Sigil on a tour with Squirrel Flower, Starting October 23 in St. Louis, MO.
