Album Notes & Community Reviews

Centered around the massive sound of a church organ, 'Ceremony' is a dark and majestic pop album. Anna von Hausswolff's voice is powerful and haunting, soaring over dense layers of drone and melody. It is a funeral dirge transformed into a celebration of sonic weight and emotional depth.
