This is music that feels like it was unearthed from a buried time capsule in a deep forest. It is almost entirely vocal, relying on the natural resonance of human voices to create a sense of sacred space. The production is unmistakably lo-fi, with the warm hiss of 1990s cassette culture adding a layer of mystery and distance to the recordings.
What makes this project truly distinctive is the intersection of pagan spirituality and queer identity. The songs function more like incantations or liturgical chants than traditional folk songs. By stripping away melodic instruments, the duo forces the listener to focus on the raw, unadorned texture of the harmony and the rhythmic pulse of occasional, primitive drumming.
Start with 'Hand of Desire' if you want to experience the peak of their ritualistic sound. It is a challenging but deeply rewarding listen for those who find beauty in the skeletal and the spiritual. This is not background music; it is music for moments of total isolation and intentional reflection.
