Tirill - 'A Dance With The Shadows' £14.99
From the Label that brought you the "phenomenal" LINDA PERHACS album! The debut solo CD from Tirill Mohn, formerly of renowned Norwegian folk/prog group, White Willow. A truly stunning recording full of light and shadow, from sun gilded meadows to fire light dancing off the trees at the deep heart of the darkened forest. At once contemporary and ancient, earthy and grounded and ethereal and otherworldly, joyous and sorrowful, deeply emotional and stirringly cerebral. Tirill's acoustic guitar work is classical in influence as well as rooted in folk musics and Scandinavian melodies, at times recalling some of the playing of Duncan Browne and Nick Drake. Her violin work is sublime and lyrical and her voice is nothing short of angelic! (think a Nordic Linda Perhacs even.) She is backed by some amazing musicians making this CD truly an experience. whilst incorporating neo classical, folk, progressive and even gothic elements she has created a lovely netherworld all it's own! David Tibet (Current 93) said this of the CD: "a beautiful box of kaleidoscoped ghosts"... A haunting and timeless recording that grows deeper which each listening! Highly recommended!!!!
