Ancient Corsican polyphony captured in a high-reverb space. Intense male vocal harmonies that feel carved from granite and steeped in liturgical sorrow.

Moments Worth Listening For

The dissonant tension in 'Dies irae' where the voices collide before resolving into a terrifyingly beautiful unison.

The way the lead vocal in 'U lamentu di Maria' seems to fray at the edges, conveying a physical sense of grief.

The sudden, crystalline clarity of the final 'Alleluia' which feels like light breaking through a heavy cloud cover.
