Shadows of the Sun

Ulver

A somber, minimalist masterpiece of chamber noir. Velvet baritone vocals drift over sparse piano, ghostly theremin, and warm electronic hums.

October 1, 2007 · House Of Mythology

A somber form of serenity that finds beauty in the depths of isolation and quiet despair.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting entry of Pamelia Kurstin's theremin on Eos, sounding more like a human voice than an instrument.
The slow, funeral-march piano chords on the title track that feel like they are sinking into deep water.
The way the trumpet on Let the Children Go emerges from the electronic fog like a distant jazz memory.
