May Our Chambers Be Full is the first recorded collaboration between Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou. While their respective solo material seems to be quite disparate, both artists have spent their careers lurking around the boundaries of the heavy metal scene.
While Rundle's standard fare is a blend of post-rock-infused folk music, and Thou is typically known for it's doomy sludge, the conjoining of the two artists has created a record more in the vein of the early '90s Seattle sound while still retaining much of the artists' core identities. Melodic, melancholic, heavy, visceral. The visual art accompanying this work was created in collaboration with preeminent New Orleans photographer Craig Mulcahy. The faceless, genderless models are meant to emphasize this pervasive state of ambiguity and emotional vacillation, the images falling somewhere between modern high fashion and classical Renaissance.
