Description:

Recorded while the leaves paled to winter last year, this record showcases an brilliant, imaginative Swedish acoustic five-piece folk band at the height of their power, uniting a fleeting finger-picked lightness with soaring close harmonies, and a dense, mystic darkness with manic guitars, searing violins, and ritualistic percussion.“If “If the Incredible String Band was the ultimate sunshine folk psych act, they had their counterpart in the deathly dark acid folk band Comus. In the group that we present to you now, these two sides are united. They will lure you with melodies, treacherously fair, until you suddenly find yourself deep in the dark woods, face to face with the Devil, pleading to get to keep your wits... and then the slow witch dance begins, under the light of the pale moon...” (Psykjunta) “...deeply personal and profoundly eerie. Imagine a drugged-out Tim Buckley fronting Comus on some heathen ceremony in the forests of Lapland and you’ll have a slight clue as to what this is all about. With excellent album-opener Fret, they even manage to outdo their mighty forerunners...” (T. Petterson)
