It took the new
The Moon and the Nightspirits‘
record a while before it reached my CD player. Already released in June of this year it almost got lost in the stream of releases that were coming out this fall.
Almost but not quite, and that is a good thing because Aether swept me off my feet from the very first note I heard. This is the best album I’ve heard this year. and that with stiff competition from bands like
M’anam,
Jyoti Verhoeff,
Priscilla Hernandez,
Rachel Croft,
Grumpy O sheep,
Gói, and
Irdorath.
(what a musical year it has been.)
With Aether, The Moon and the Nightspirit wanted to add a certain ‘masculinity’ into their sound and the result is a gothic/medieval pagan folk CD that just blew me away. Now you could follow the
link
and have a read what I find so special about this new album – (and it would be highly appreciated by yours truly) – but really, if you love the music of
Dead Can Dance,
Shireen,
Cranes,
and of course The Moon and the Nightspirit themselves, don’t be bothered; just buy the record; put it on; get yourself a headphone; a chair; and vanish in this beautiful masterpiece.
The Daily Disc SeeD – Zonnewende (2020)
Last night,
SeeD
had a Winter Solstice video release! They launched another song ánd video of their upcoming album. And…, this song is breathtaking! The video makes the picture complete. If you haven’t seen it already, go to YouTube and let these sounds and images come to you. Below the YouTube video (and on
Bandcamp
) you can read the translation of the song!
SeeD says: Zonnewende (Solstice) marks the longest night, after which the light will return. The lyrics are a druidic solstice ritual translated from Welsh into Irish.
The song is already in our Spotify
CeltCast Radio – Official
list and soon we’ll play it on our radio station as well.
