Their first album in 6 years. Amber Asylum plumbs the crevasse between noise and beauty. Lyrical, confessional, dark yet aspirant. A filmic fusion of modern classical and post-rock, where arias and Art Songs meet in a pale field of electronic disturbance.
6th album by this Avantgarde Neo-Classical ensemble. An unearthing of the magic of such classic works as “Natural Philosophy...” and “Songs Of Sex...”, and updating the immaculate vibe with Amber Asylum’s current carnation. Inc. bonus track.

Dark, brooding chamber works of misanthropic resonance and chilling emotional beauty. A blackened neo-classical masterpiece, which is now re-issued with 2 bonus tracks.

A bombastic yet soothing Neo-Classical masterpiece, crowned by the beautiful voice of Annmari Thim (of Arcana), narrating tales sprung out of religious texts and beliefs over a lush cinematic background. Digipak CD, complete with a 12-page booklet.
Referencing the minimalism of contemporary composers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass, it builds to a crescendo of harmonics, allowing the cello to sore as it crosses the border from minor to major.

The second full-length from this extraordinary New York artist and his cohorts, features contributions from both Antony's peers (Rufus Wainwright, Devendra Banhardt) and heroes (Lou Reed, Boy George).
The follow-up to "I Am A Bird Now" shifts thematic focus and explores Antony's relationship with the natural world. The intimacy of the Johnsons' sound is enveloped by avant-classical composer Nico Muhly's symphonic arrangements.
Arguably Antony's most wide-ranging emotional work to date, with an exotic sound palette, of strange percussive elements, John Cale-esque string drones, heavily distorted guitars and symphonic voicings.
The culmination of several years working in collaboration with orchestras and symphonies around the world is a collection of live symphonic performances of songs from "Swanlights", "The Crying Light", "I Am a Bird Now" and the self-titled debut.
Downtempo beats, deep bass, electronics and electric guitar meet enchanting flute, cello, sitar, acoustic guitar and a beautiful melancholic voice. Between the London Trip-hop melancholic sounds and Oriental peaceful vibes.

Features a never-before-released rendition of "Silentium", the second movement of Pärt's most famous concerto, "Tabula Rasa", performed by Boston-based chamber orchestra A Far Cry at nearly half the speed of the 1984 ECM version. Beautiful and healing.
Four years after their homonymous debut, the Italian ensemble finally completes their second album, a masterpiece which not only embodies the romantic backdrop of early 1900’s glamour but that also flirts with a slightly naïve Folk spirit occasionally.
Finally available again, the first sold-out album, now with a new unreleased track. Nostalgic and ethereal music, which brings to mind Michael Nyman's original sountracks.

10 beautiful new songs recorded over a period of 10 years, and, by some measure, her most personal work yet. These are songs from the mid-course of life, when looking ahead no longer yields what it used to, and looking back has a sudden, sharper focus.
Like a cocoon, this album will envelope you in its many layers. With allusions to dark-pop and classic broken-folk, the anti-climactic compositions of Alicia remind us that she is a singer songwriter for people who don't like singer songwriters.

While the band’s sound may be most associated with the romantic Pop music of the late 50’s and early 60’s, Gonzalez pushes into more unexpected sonic territory on Cry, reaching back to his childhood in El Paso, Texas, drawing a subtle melodic influence.
Filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slowburn Pop songs, Greg captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. "X’s" centralizes on just one relationship that spanned four years.
A rhapsodic, hedonistic, dance floor-adjacent, pagan-friendly, horns-adorning wall of sound and emotion. "Halo on the Inside" finds CdY renewed, recombinant, and thrillingly alien, veering towards synth-heavy Pop and Electronica.

Stormy Shoegaze born of open tuning and R&B melodies, cascading walls of guitar churn, surge and ripple, framed by sunken rhythms and vocals veiled in violet haze. Cold Gawn channels malaise and melancholy into gauzy, galvanized anthems.

Corde Oblique launches a genre that defines "FolkGaze", blending Neofolk and Shoegaze. Those who know the band will recognize their well-defined identity, this time shaken up with a more extreme and brave approach.
