Enter the dark, cathartic, and deeply human universe of The Holy Gasp, an exclusive artist of Plétora Network in Mexico, with their conceptual album "The Love Songs of Oedipus Rex" . Independently released on September 7, 2018 and officially distributed in Mexico by Plétora Network, this 12" black vinyl is an essential collector's piece.
Recorded by Dale Morningstar on Toronto Island and mixed by Craig Saltz, this massive project features 27 musicians and vocalists. The 13 songs narrate, with dark humor and theatricality, the story of a marriage in crisis, compounded by the death of the husband's father and the death of his therapist. The lyrics are based on personal experiences of leader Benjamin Hackman, who channeled his grief after the passing of his father and his therapist amid a painful divorce.
You can enjoy The Holy Gasp on Plétora Music TV channel, the Plétora App, and Plétora Radio.
Perfect for experimental vinyl collectors, musical theater fans, Plétora Network followers, and those seeking a work that transforms pain into art. A limited edition documenting a unique cathartic moment in Canadian independent music.
