Background/Info:
Simon Heath (Atrium
Carceri, Sabled Sun ao) and Pär Boström (Kammarheit, Hymnambulae, Bonini Bulga
ao) have already worked together on a previous album (cf. “Black Corner Den”)
and another one with God Body Disconnect as an extra artist. They also did a
few more albums together as Atrium Carceri and Kammarheit so both Swedes know
each other very well.
Content:
You don’t really
get the feeling this album sounds like a side-project between label mates.
There’s a true cohesion in the songs, which are mixing the dark-ambient and
–cinematographic styles together. The songs have been slowly built up,
progressively creating a haunting atmosphere, which feels a bit like announcing
a disaster. Field recordings have been added to the writing. Some passages are
accentuated by sad tunes leading the listener into an imaginary sadness.
+ + + :
The main strength
and characteristic of this album is the intimate mood created by both artists.
Even if the tracks sound dark and supported with desperate atmospheres, there
also is something evasive running through the composition. “A New
Constellation” is a brilliant exposure of this inner feeling. There’s a touch
of grace running through the album, which finally gave birth to a few beautiful
tracks.
– – – :
This is probably
the best album released between both musicians. It however misses a total
climax to speak about a genius work, but there’s magic vibes between Atrium
Carceri and Cities Last Broadcast.
Conclusion:
There’s strong
chemistry between both artists, which resulted in a passionate and very
personal production.
Best songs:
“A New
Constellation”, “Mind Turns To Night”, “Attic And Wormwood”, “All Things
Nocturnal”.
