Dead Can Dance release ‘The Cicadas’ single via Bandcamp

Dead Can Dance released “The Cicadas,” an instrumental composition written by Brendan Perry, on July 15, 2026, exclusively via Bandcamp as part of their monthly single series. The track, recorded at Temenos Studio in Greece, features Perry alongside David Kuckhermann (bendir and riq), Yannis Pantazis (aulos), and the Rhodope Women’s Ensemble. Inspired by Plato’s Phaedrus and ancient Greek mythology about humans transformed into eternal singers by the Muses, the piece explores themes of music, wisdom, and knowledge pursuit. This release continues Dead Can Dance’s 2026 Bandcamp campaign, following earlier monthly singles including “Mon Amour Sauvage,” “Death Cults,” “Mnemosyne,” and “Our Day Will Come.” Available as a name-your-price digital download, the instrumental carries no accompanying video.
