49BC thrives off the myths of malefic witches, lustful gods, and unholy ghosts bound to the Swamp — slithering with its snakes. They worship this home and grave to human and beast alike. 49 Burning Condors’ acoustic style mirrors the fables passed down – tongue to tongue and ear to ear — becoming more twisted and ruinous with every passing listen, with every gulp of whiskey around the fire.
Following the release of their first full length album titled Seventh Hymnal in 2022, 49BC returned to the studio to record a number of singles which became a culmination of their honed gothic witch-rock sound featuring melodic vocal harmonies, steel-body slide guitar and haunting violin.
These three singles include Black Waters, Half Hung Mary and the final epic – Slit Tongue Sparrow, set to be released February 8th, 2025. Dark, moody and epic; each track highlights the many inspirations that have shaped 49 Burning Condors. From the trumpets of New Orleans jazz featured on Half Hung Mary to the dark Portishead groves found in Black Waters, all elevated by beautiful vocal and violin harmonies which are at their most prominent in the final single, Slit Tongue Sparrow.
Lo Priestess
Lo-priestess, based out of Philadelphia, PA, pushes a delicate, melancholic chamber pop sound informed by trip-hop, vocal jazz, and singer-songwriter stylings. At the core of the band are Gina LC (Dear Forbidden) and Scott Radway (solo artist, ex-Polkadot Cadaver), both of whom hail from louder, more frantic musical environments.
Annalise Curtin
Annalise Curtin is known for a particular brand of introspective acoustic folk (with shades of Alanis Morrisette, Ingrid Michaelson, and Regina Spektor) in the loudest of rock and roll dive bars.
Curtin has been expanding her musical pallet, pushing her boundaries into settings commensurate with her vocal range. Joining multiple artists on collabs like “Snowland” with Philippe GC, “Me without you” with Aaron Ruiz, and the award winning collaboration with local legend John Faye titled “Ghost writer.”
2025 will bring new solo music and a new sound with her pretty green epiphone.
