New Vinyl Record - Diamanda Galas - Divine Punishment

The first album in her Masque of the Red Death trilogy, The Divine Punishment is one of the most jarring works of art produced in response to the AIDS epidemic, and a milestone in Diamanda Galás's artistry and activism. Galás uses her famous voice both as an orational instrument and as well as a physical representation of AIDS and those it afflicts. The album features the panphonic* dirge work of Galás, accompanied by analogue synthesizers played by Dave Hunt. The texts are primarily taken from the Old Testament, contrasting the hectoring lawmakers of Leviticus with the desperate appeals of the Lamentations and Book of Psalms (Psalm 22, 59, and 88). In doing so, she indicts those who use religion to instigate the witch hunts that inevitably accompany real and perceived plagues. Today, The Divine Punishment sounds no less audacious than when it was released in 1986, but one hears it with a sense of shared trauma and a renewed call to action. Galás imbues all her work with the crushing weight of history-the hypnotic cadences of her vocal work are precisely aligned to the liturgical texts employed. Remastered with exceptional clarity by mastering engineer Heba Kadry working from the original mixes by London-based producer/composer Dave Hunt, it's a work of great empathy, solidarity, and physical power. Coming amid another pandemic marked by ignorance and division, it's anger and fervor feels remarkably urgent.

Super comfortable and extremely flattering
Size: 9.5, Color: Black
Love! Love! Love! Even though they are very flat sandals, the soul has just enough cushion to feel like you’re walking on a cloud. I also love the location of the straps. As someone with bunions, they cover them perfectly and make my feet look attractive while not being completely covered.

Comfortable at first, but didn’t hold up long-term
Size: 8, Color: Tan
The size felt true and the feel was comfortable right out of the box. I liked the softness of the footbed, and the wearability was good for everyday errands and casual outings at first. Unfortunately, after about six months of regular use, they started falling apart. While the versatility was nice and the thickness felt fine for warm weather, the overall durability just wasn’t there. They’re okay for short-term use, but I wouldn’t expect them to last long.

Great quality
Size: 10, Color: Tan
Great quality leather sandals I bought to replace a worn out pair. They are comfortable and not stiff. Hoping the rubber sole lasts a long time. They look nice with jeans, shorts or casual dresses.

Beautiful, well priced, and no discomfort!
Size: 6.5, Color: Taupe, Size: 6.5, Color: Taupe
My daughter wore these for her HS graduation ceremony. So beautiful, well priced, and she never complained about any pain or discomfort. The only downside was that she got an X tanned on her feet! 😆 So put sunscreen on your feet before wearing these.

Love them
Size: 5.5, Color: Red Pepper
I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes! They’re true to size and comfortable. Because of the material feet might sweat easier if hot but they dry quick. Quality is great and the color looks good, it’s more of a orange/red color. I got a 5.5 size
