BIBLIOTEKA AWAKENS THE INNER DUALITIES OF CHAOS AND CLARITY ON “DELUSIONAL”
FREAKOUT RECORDS
Seattle trio BIBLIOTEKA are excited to share “Delusional”, a new single ahead of their full-length debut scheduled for release in October.
“Delusional” was written after band bassist/vocalist Mary Robins took a much-needed trip to Portland, OR, where a day of thrifting ended at Casa Diablo, a vegan strip club that felt more like a fever dream than a night out. The song is a love letter to feminine duality, living in the space between softness and strength, chaos and clarity, insecurity and power. It makes sense because at Casa Diablo, two-dollar bills fly and bodies are celebrated. Like music, strip clubs offer an escape, where fantasy blurs with reality and delusions become their own kind of truth.
Robins shares, “”Delusional” is about a kind of feminine awakening where I was stepping outside of myself and tapped into new desires, or had awoken ancient ones. I took a trip down to Portland and ended up at this wild vegan strip club with friends. The whole place felt like a blur between fantasy and reality where it was intense, emotional, and a little surreal. They only accept two-dollar bills, which felt like the perfect symbol for duality: real and imagined, soft and powerful. That night made me think about how I perform with Biblioteka. People often know me as this quiet and soft-spoken girl. I guess whether you’re on stage or on a pole it becomes its own kind of delusion, but also a kind of inner-truth coming out. That’s my take on sex, drugs, and rock and roll.”
