lady of shalott The cover art is perfect. The sound of this album is like a mist that infiltrates the room and changes the mood. It conjures up images the way colourful light falls through stained glass, alleviating the dark but not effacing it. Favorite track: Cybele.

Swampyre McCobb It's dark, ephemeral, layered with gossamer and grit. Sumptuous and spooky.

Beto Balcazar Mendoza Such a beautiful album. I love the minimalist drumming approach, & the fuzzy low fidelity of the guitar. Her voice is pretty heavily reverberated, & it gives a haunting & ethereal quality to each song. I cannot recommend this enough. Favorite track: Isa.

Blind One 06:03
I am the one who loves from under the skin of a falcon. I am the mother of the one who rises up for the sun. And when his work is done the black mare brings to him the skeleton of the sun, the gold is gone, of the sun, the gold is gone. Circle of the Gods, they stood around my good son. Brother's hand is the blind one, takes the heart blood. How could I not know the evil of that arrow? Made up of the one golden bough I let go. I am the one who cries alone. My tears on the branch be enthroned. Only the light of the snow will take me from my winter home down to the long ship that glows. The fire burns the season's ghost, of the sun, the gold is gone, of the sun, the gold is gone.

Tearer 05:15
Tower of the wife. His parts grew into mine. Tearer come. Tearer come. Broken legs of light. The fall came from the flight. Tearer come. Tearer come. There's that dog who won't bite standing here by my side in the field where we once played with the lamb of decay. This is where the wolf now hangs waiting for the last refrain. Burial under the sun. They circle up above. Devour this dead love. Surrender the wife. He could not take my life. Tearer come. Tearer come. Tearer come. Tearer come.
3.
Come back to life my cold desire, I'll build a heart of spires. Come back to life, come through my blood. You can't survive under the sun. I'll turn you over. I'll take you under. Come from the sky to flesh and time. I'll shelter you from the light. Come to me blind, come for my mind. I know your eyes are like mine. I'll turn you over. I'll take you under. I'll turn you over. I'll take you under. I'm not alone. I'm not alone. I'm all alone. I'm not alone. I'm all alone. I'm not alone. I'm not alone. I'm all alone.
4.
Bound when you said I'm a liar. Laid myself down on your tracks. Saw when you set the last fire. I became a face of frozen ash. Lost my grace in this barren field. Saturn's grave has at last been revealed. Renunciation. Sanctify this end. Renunciation. Sanctify this end. Prophet's rise. Heaven's compromise. My own life for a blind man's white winged eyes. Renunciation. Sanctify this end. Renunciation. Sanctify this end.
5.
Ashlar 05:02
He says we fell through the trap door. He says we need to breathe no more. I'm on the back of a templar holding to the column's core. So I open my eyes. So I open my eyes. I can't stand on this land. He holds a piece of the ashlar. My hands are rough as his are. I've got to build a pillar so I can stand on the earth. So I open my eyes. So I open my eyes. So I open my eyes.
6.
Isa 06:01
It's clear and cold I know. Salt from the sea and the snow. Water in my heart still low. Glaciers are melting so slow. Better to know he's not coming home. Animal screaming in snow. The wind it begins to blow. Silence has taken a hold. I'll keep your pelt for my own. Better to know how frozen the road. Better to know. I held the knife up above. I saw my own reflection. Seven colors of the sun. How could I choose only one?
7.
Cybele 03:56
Set the sacrifice. He must be all white. I'll bring you up towards the light. For this day of blood you will receive my eternal love. For this day of blood you will receive my eternal love. Purification. My devoted ones. His castration. The seed of the sun, his life be undone. My greatest one, this rite that I won. For this day of blood you will receive my eternal love. For this day of blood you will receive my eternal love. I'll free you from time.
