Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Barcelona-based vocal duo breathes extraordinary new life into ancient Mediterranean and Catalan folk traditions through striking a cappella performances. 'Fiat lux' intertwines their pristine, polyphonic harmonies with subtle, glitchy electronic production and ambient synthesis. The project bridges Gregorian chant aesthetics with modern electroacoustic sensibilities, resulting in a profoundly haunting and spiritual recording.
