Monastery - Peculiar Storms CD
Dreamscapes For Solitude & The Facilitation Of Escape.
Monastery's debut album, Peculiar Storms, utilizes elements of new age, drone, world/folk, dungeon synth, and field recordings of nature & storms. Combining lush soundscapes with the moodiness of the art and the ambiguity of the text, the album serves as a drift off point to abstract and surreal landscapes. Monastery seeks to facilitate escape to more haunting and dreamier worlds than the one where we reside.
For fans of Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, Cyclobe, Current 93, Secret Stairways, Era 1 Mortiis, Ulver, Coil, Loreena McKennitt, and Enya.
Released March 27, 2014 by New England-based art collective Seraphim House.
