Commenting on the visible, Desmond defined: “Bobby Cochran expertly used Sergei Parajanov‘s The Shade of Pomegranates as a muse for this trailer that completely captures the dreamlike qualities of the music.”
Alongside the report, Bell Witch and Aerial Smash will be part of forces on a European tour in January and February 2026, with assist from 40 Watt Solar. On the tour, Desmond added: “We’re very excited to lastly carry out Stygian Bough Quantity II stay!”
