Description
With gliding viola and choral forces, Only Darkness Now is a more alive, peopled landscape than its predecessor. Moods remain contemplative, concerned with vivid, historical netherworlds and torments we see this in extended album centrepiece Behind the Spiderweb Gate and in In Solitude I Will Fade Away. However, despite its title, Only Darkness now has a brighter expanse: Cotton layers viola, chimes and Omnichord an electrical ghost-like medieval drone alongside percussion, harmonium, piano and voice. This is a confident record, lifting Shirt Of Lace by medieval revivalist Dorothy Carter, from Celtic lament to cathedral like grandeur.
Available to independent retailers on coloured vinyl with altered artwork by Luke Drozd.
For fans of John Cale & Nico, Tony Conrad, Laura Cannell, Linda Perhacs, Max Richter, Tony Conrad, The Unthanks.
