Ace of Wands is the music and songwriting of Lee Rose. Joined by Anna Mernieks and Jody Brumell, the band creates mixture of tones and emotions, blending soaring vocals, violin, synth-bass and guitar into songs inspired by the supernatural, elemental forces and physical sensation. Drawing on a background of rock and roll, classical violin training and folk music, Ace of Wands expands their songwriting to incorporate facets of cinematic soundscapes, pop melodies and interlocking guitars and vocals. Motivated by the tarot card of the same name, the music is about will and determination; to create and destroy, and to bring about physical, mental and spiritual transformation.
Now, Ace of Wands have released “Lioness” which is the title track of their forthcoming debut album. The song came from a place of self-destruction while simultaneously searching for strength and the ability to persevere. The Lioness – a powerful, fierce, nurturing and self-reliant creature – embodied all of the qualities Lee Rose was searching for at the time.
The accompanying video for “Lioness” is inspired by a love of horror movies and suspense, depicting the lure of self-destruction followed by an acceptance of the darkness within. The visuals show each of the members at a different stage of this transformation, ending in unification as a singular unit.
“Lioness” communicates the fierce energy they embody as a band. From despair and anger to hope and tenderness, Ace Of Wands seek to explore all the ways in which they process emotion in daily life.
The band hopes that listeners can share in the feelings of excitement, fierceness and confidence that they have when playing this song. The Lioness LP is set to be released on February 22nd.
