New Album: Raw Blood Singing
INSECT ARK is the duo of American artists Dana Schechter (bass, lap steel, synths, vocals - also a member of SWANS) and Tim Wyskida (drums, percussion - also a member of KHANATE). The band is based in Berlin.
Their new album Raw Blood Singing is the band’s fourth full-length, the result of a year's writing for the duo, who began working together in 2021.
It will be released June 2024 by Debemur Morti Productions.
Evolving beyond Insect Ark’s origins as an instrumental band, Raw Blood Singing features Schechter's vocals for the first time.
The 2024 live band will expand into a trio: Berlin-based musician Lynn Wright will join on Lap Steel and Electric guitars, with Schechter on Bass/Vocals and Wyskida on Drums/Electronics.

“A sickening descent to a hallucinogenic abyss...desolate, ambient dread, desert-like sceneries and heavy riffs, slithers and moves in circular motifs” – Pop Matters, 2020
“Schechter’s vaporous atmospheres suspend themselves in the air around the listener. The music pulses and breathes” – Wire, 2021
“Angular and creepy and mystical in all the right ways…instills that anxious discomfort which, counterintuitively, translates into an enjoyable but tense listen” – Invisible Oranges - Feb 2020
