Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed as a deeply meditative, spoken-word piece, this release features David Tibet reciting esoteric poetry over a bed of minimalist, shifting drones. 'The Seahorse Rears to Oblivion' eschews standard neofolk instrumentation entirely, relying instead on its stark, apocalyptic lyricism to carry the emotional weight.
