With their fifth album "New Wilderness Gospel", American folk innovators LUX INTERNA present the centrepiece of a larger ongoing multimedia work that envisions an anthropocenic apocalypse. The seeds of this artistic synthesis were planted during Joshua’s research for his doctoral dissertation, which involved translating and interpreting early modern esoteric manuscripts related to the heterodox mystic Jacob Böhme and his inner circle in Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Against the backdrop of a disturbing series of environmental events affecting their live-work space in Northern California, Kathryn and Joshua began collaboratively exploring this emergent world and translating it into imagery, music, and film, which led to the idea of an apocalyptic 'gospel' for the anthropocene. Musically, LUX INTERNA spun "New Wilderness Gospel" out of diverse musical threads that include desert blues, Appalachian folk, gospel, gothic, psychedelia, post-punk and even, warped elements of 60s girl pop and 80s new wave. In the wake of their debut EP "Truth, Beauty, and All Their Severity" (2000), LUX INTERNA have released four studio albums, beginning with "Absence and Plenum" (2002), which was followed by "Ignis Mutat Res" (2004), "God Is Not Dead for the Birds" (2007), and the latest full-length "There Is Light in the Body, There Is Blood in the Sun" in 2013. With their Gesamtkunstwerk "New Wilderness Gospel", LUX INTERNA reveal a thought-provoking and warning image of a natural apocalypse that has already sent its harbingers to this world. The writing is on the wall – or rather in the lyrics as well as the breathtaking beauty of their music. Hark!
