Every man is a catacomb resonator; our very being resounds with hidden desires, dreams of unknown origin, and deeper still, primordial voices of our buried ancestry. We are a labyrinth unto ourselves; and equally we stand as a totem-pole at the crossroads of a universe, gazing into distant horizons. We are a nameless grave from which the self divine may rise to witness new constellations light up on the darkening firmament.
It is this process which the sixth Arktau Eos album attempts to convey: led by abyssal psalmody, the sonic tapestry is interwoven with dusty, crackling electronics of a bygone era and other, subtler elements for an all-enveloping sound that readily lends itself to prolonged listening sessions.

I'm finishing the week off by going deep into the darkness. I absolutely love this release (along with another of their releases, Unworldes) and it's deep, hollow, dark ritual ambience is the perfect primer to set me in the direction of Autumn. Yard haunt prop work begins in earnest this weekend and this will be the soundtrack to power me through it. A prolonged listening session indeed.
Enjoy.
