Monastery - Peculiar Storms LP
Dreamscapes for solitude and the facilitation of escape.
The first full length from Monastery utilises elements of new age, drone, world/folk, dungeon synth, and field recordings of nature & storms. Combining lush soundscapes with the moodiness of the art and the ambiguity of the text, the album serves as a drift off point to abstract and surreal landscapes. Monastery seeks to facilitate escape to more haunting and dreamier worlds than the one where we reside.
For fans of Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, Cyclobe, Current 93, Secret Stairways, early Mortiis, Ulver, Coil, Loreena McKennitt, and Enya.
