Halo Manash
Par antrai vir
CD / Aural Hypnox rec.€ 12.00
I've never been to Finland but with the evidence at hand i'm guessing it's dark a lot. Also cold, quiet, monochrome and with lots of naked trees casting very long shadows through which tall, pale, bald men in ill-fitting evening suits walk, wringing their boney hands and tittering.
Halo Manash produce epic soundscapes that evoke vast, rolling, snowy tundras. The sound of an encroaching ice-age where only the occasional addition of, usually, quiet, subtle and funereal drums show that there is still life somewhere in this vast emptiness.
Beautifully packaged and damn fine album that are yet more reason to show your support for this excellent dark ambient label.
