lyrics

After a while the path ends abruptly. North, it looks as though there once might have been a track, but it is now overgrown and seemingly impassable. You are about to turn South when an arresting figure steps out in your path. Your hand flies to your sword-hilt, and then stops. The wide, almond eyes fix on yours, and you take in the fine features, lithe body in the tight-fitting lime-green tunic. You are facing a beautiful female Elf, and at once you hold up your hands in a gesture of peace. For a brief moment, her severe expression relaxes as she smiles, and introduces herself: “I’m Shadria There is no time for chatter. Follow me”. She turns, and at once almost disappears into the thicket North. You hurry after her, following her slim shape as it weaves through the foliage, following a path invisible to your eyes. After a while, you emerge from the tangled undergrowth, and are once more on a well-made path. “There, to the north, is what you are looking for.” You don’t have time to ask her how she knows what you are looking for that the young elf has already disappeared in the dense forest...

flies the coop

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly
