A hauntingly beautiful and melancholic album of hushed lugubrious vocalisations, pulsating drum machine, reverberating guitar and minimalist synthetic structures. But, from the dark appears light and strength, moments of joy, colour and hope, in a period of uncertainty, anxiety and turmoil none of us could have possibly contemplated.
This is a wondrous journey through the mind of Northern German musician Anna Nin, who began working as "GLARING" in October 2018, having been previously known as "None" in 2017. Musically, think early 4AD [ specifically "Dead Can Dances" debut album ] meets "Tropic of Cancer", "Boards of Canada" and the dreampop veneration of the "Cocteau Twins".
This LP will be her 8th [ which have been mostly self-released, then re-issued by labels such as "Squall" and "Popnihil". A lathecut album and boxset of "collected works" was also released by "Minimal Kombinat" in 2020 ] and limited to 250 copies on black vinyl. The album will be released this October and the first single from the album will be "Vanth", released as a download.
