+1476+ - Our Season Draws Near Special Edition Art Book
The winter laden Our Season Draws Near delves into experiences with isolation, solitude, alienation, and resignation. It uses winter imagery & themes as well as Runic & mythological concepts as the lens for these ideas. Beneath the frozen surface is an internal fire and desire to defeat these obstacles. The music reflects these emotions and themes by stripping away most of the dense layers and production from past albums to deliver something raw, intimate, isolated, and urgent sounding—a small candle flame of life, lost in the middle of a winter void. Our Season Draws Near shows 1476 balancing the opposite extremes of their most aggressive, raw material to date with their most lush and delicate.
For fans of Amebix, Sólstafir, Current 93, Iceage, Alcest, and Pink Floyd.
