Insects by Various Artists

We are delighted to present the first instalment in a new album series examining the role of insects in folklore and mythology.

The contributing artists were invited to interpret, through music, a story associated with an insect of their choosing.

Across the world insects have been woven into mythology and folklore for countless generations. Through their ability to transform, swarm, sting, and glow, insects have become perfect symbols for rebirth, fate, magic, and resolve. Bees communicate through community, moths serve as ancestral messengers and beetles represent the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth.

Through these tiny messengers, storytellers have found outsized meaning. Reminding us that even the tiniest lives can mirror cosmic forces - and that the natural world is always speaking, if we are willing to listen.

Dustopian Frequencies is a DIY tape label focussing on experimental and left of field music that pertains to strange stories, mythology, folklore and all things eldritch.
