Joy Wolfenden Brown's Artwork Used for The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus New Album Cover

Joy Wolfenden Brown’s painting ‘Loss’ has been used as the album artwork The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus new album The Dream We Carry.

Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus is an experimental music collective that was formed in Liverpool, England in 1985 by Dave Seddon, Jon Egan, and Sue and Paul Boyce, who were soon joined by Leslie Hampson. Their name is a reference to the terrorist group in Luis Buñuel's final film, That Obscure Object of Desire. The group's music is a blend of folk and sacred music, industrial and ambient sounds, and samples that has drawn comparisons to neofolk artists like Current 93 and Death in June, as well as artists including Dead Can Dance, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Henryk Górecki, and Arvo Pärt. The group incorporates Christian imagery and symbolism into their music, and specifically draws inspiration from the Eastern Church, especially its use of icons. In concert, the group incorporates multimedia and film clips from directors like Andrei Tarkovsky into their performances, as well as ritual movements and field recordings.

The Dream We Carry will be released in several editions: black vinyl, marble vinyl, CD, and a deluxe box set that includes the album on marble vinyl, CD, and cassette as well as artwork and other printed materials.

The Dream We Carry will be released on June 29, 2024 by Liverpool’s 9x9 Records.
