about

“Smoking Tongues,” the second single from Mackey’s new LP, Immoral Emporium, is an industrial love song for the ages combining dance club appeal, sublime synth work, and Mackey’s perfectly on point poetics. Part ghost story, part noir nightmare, part love story, part religious allegory, the video sees Mackey at his most compelling, conjuring the hallucinatory experiences of life growing up in South Texas.

Curse says, “I wrote this song as the final piece of the new album. I wanted to speak to the listener directly, more than I may have done in the past. The phantasmagoria of my first album, Instant Exorcism, may have shrouded my feelings, but ‘Smoking Tongues’ opened a portal. I don’t think I have felt this vulnerable within a song before and the sound is also reaching into to new areas of exploration.”

Mackey continues “The lyrical dialog is as much about me as it is about the listener, and I clearly question our collective future. I know this song is a departure that industrial music purists might find out of frame, but, if you stick with me, we’ll get to the delicious delirium hidden within Immoral Emporium. I empathize with the feelings of alienation and loneliness. Our experiences, ‘our scars like constellations’ get us through these moments until we can again be seduced by the vast potential that exists in the world even on our darkest days.”
