Last month, I had posted about my discovery of Library Of The Occult Records, a label out of the UK that describes itself as "Esoteric Electronics, Dungeon Jazz and Wizard Psych sounds on limited vinyl releases."
And since that initial discovery, I have been grabbing releases left and right. Really great modern interpretations of 70s folk/horror/occult sounds on everything they put out!
Grave Owl's The Solar Crypt was actually the first release that I had heard from the label. It is a little-known side project from none other than Pär Boström, mastermind of dark ambient acts Kammarheit and Cities Last Broadcast (among numerous others).
But on this release, Boström forgoes the usual dark, droning atmospherics in favor of a rather unique, synth-based occult/horror soundtrack sound. Much more upbeat (yet still maintaining a dark essence) than any of his other projects. An unexpected treat for fans of both dark synth wave and dark ambient.
Another fantastic release from Library Of The Occult Records. Enjoy!
