ARROWWOOD - 'Beautiful Grave' LP (Merlins Nose Recordings)

Info: Once immersed into the depth of the songs, you will hardly want to leave those regions again. It's difficult to describe it more applicable than the band itself has: "A dream about a dream within a wood...". Nature mysticism, fairytales, absolutely mesmerizing vocals and an archaic ritual-atmosphere are characterizing the songs, which are floating like the ghost of a mythical creature among old ruins and bushes of dark holler. Gentle, ethereal and sometimes even ghostly haunting sounds, created on all acoustic instruments such as flute, hurdy gurdy, reed organ and several stringed instruments apart from the classic acoustic guitar build the fruitful soil for a mystifying vocal performance. An enchanting swarm of different rattles, timbers, bells and rainmakers comes buzzing around the melody patterns, only scarcely driven by an occasional hypnotical beat of a hand drum. The surreal beauty of this second full length album knows to enchant the listener every second and to tickle his senses. This way even soft, calm and dreamy music can be utterly exciting. The spell of the magic kingdom works well into our dimension through the music of Arrowwood. Features a duet with Pythagumus Marshall (Novemthree). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Deluxe 180g vinyl pressing presented in a luxurious hardboard gatefold sleeve.
