“Always, some great culture is dying to enrich the soil of new harvests, some civilization is crumbling to rubbish to be the hill of a more beautiful city. Some race is spending itself that a lower and more barbarous world may inherit its stored treasure house.” – George Edward Woodberry
Overview:
Somber ambient-folk with layers of delicate, circular fingerpicking and sparse arrangements of droning harmonium, piano, guitar feedback and the occasional chirping crickets. The soft reverb dampens everything like a light drizzle over the American prairie. Given the Western themes and American Primitivism vibes it was surprising to learn the artist hails all the way from Denmark, giving a fresh outside perspective.
