WHILE ANGELS WATCH Still The Star Shines LABEL - Cynfeirdd FORMAT - MCD GENRE - (WAVE PAGAN FOLK) With ”Still The Star Shines” the mystical and oneiric epos of While Angels Watch returns, with 4 new tracks that follow the previous ”Dark Age”. Musical contents stylistically more heterogeneous and free in comparison with the past, but always full of cathartic intensity and romantic suggestions. Dev is accompanied by the sweet voice of Jane Howden, with whom creates intriguing duets, while rustling harmonies are up to Matt Howden, of course, and his fervent violin. “Crossing the Tide of Time” opens then with evocative orations by Dev and Jane, grazed gently first by a melancholic piano and then by airy Nordic reflections. With “Moonchild (redroom mix)” Dev’s elegiac obsessions and Jane’s soothing lyrics have the musical support of an acoustic guitar, of sumptuous percussions and the cutting wild strings of Matt. The beginning of the third track “Eye for Eye” is introduced with a more essential folk lightness, which expands in autumnal ramifications, before exploding in a roaring ascension that reminds us of Sol Invictus. The acoustic premonitions, the burning escapes and the graelic springs of ”The Waiting Ground” make the solar insignia of our conscience explode, crossing gilded alchemic circles and dark ancestral fortifications. Resounding hearts and temporal celebrations. by :twilight zone: [ translation by Morrigan ]
