Mind Bath recruits Beverly Glenn-Copeland for new song, "Dear Friend, Queer Friend"

"Dear Friend, Queer Friend" follows previous singles "Acid Nine," "Seasons Change And So Do I Bitch" and “Sea Jasmine". The new track features vocals from Copeland, showcasing the collaborative side of Mind Bath's conceptual literary-musical work.

Discussing the new single, Mind Bath explains: “In 2019 I went to a Radical Faerie gathering to celebrate Lammas. A circle of queers taught me this song in the round: Dear friend, queer friend. Let me tell you how I feel. You have given me such pleasure. I love you so."

"'Dear Friend, Queer Friend' was one of the first songs we wrote for this project, and it set the sonic tone for everything that followed," he continues. "Aqueous was built with deep magical intention and ritual flow. The first song on the album, Acid Nine, opens with the lyrics, "Those who came before us, with futuristic love, I'm listening," and I wanted the album to close kissed by an artist who had done just that. I am deeply honoured. The legendary Beverly Glenn-Copeland is my hero, and having him sing these words on this song feels like the greatest musical gift I've ever given.”
