I: Dark Night Of The Soul

by Uilos

supported by

Kaptain Carbon the album pitch crystallizes music that is a landscape of magical gloom with immersive ambient that pulls from the gods of Kosmische Musik as much as it does the heroes of dungeon synth. I: Dark Night Of The Soul is the purported first chapter of a series and if this is the sound of the beginning, I am almost paralyzed with anticipation which has me stuck in a world the is eternally dusk — illuminated only by fireflies and wandering ghosts. Favorite track: Hermits Hideaway.

about

Out of the white-forested wilds of Western Canada comes the dungeon debut of a secluded siren's shadow self: Uilos. Named for star-like flowers found growing on graves around the Gate Of Silver during the journey into Gondolin, the project's inaugural volume threads 37 minutes of mystic, mournful instrumentals into a shimmering saga of hidden hermits, enticing dragons, and headless knights.

Each of the eight tape-hazed tracks wavers between woe and wonder, moonrises viewed from craggy peaks, ageless quests of isolation, synthesizer, guitar, and grief: Dark Night Of The Soul. Numinous blooms for final resting places.

“They blossom in all the seasons of the year, and grow where dead men rest."
–Gandalf

by Malfet

supported by 17 fans who also own “I: Dark Night Of The Soul”

Malfet is another entry into that chapter with their fourth record into what they call “pastoral dungeon synth.” Rather than relegated to a cottage of cozy fire, Malfet’s music rolls over hills in both sunshine and rain questing towards adventures far away from here. Malfet’s vision and ambition is large leading to theatric music videos which could seen ostentatious if not backed up by some outstanding music which is perhaps one of the better releases this year.
