about

"Menneenkierä" is a wrap-up of separate bits and pieces, ideas and fragments, concepts and memos from years back, and thus a hybrid of old and new: the base melodies are from '99-'02 (from times somewhere between Ikirouta and Lumiusva demos), which have then received a lot of flesh around the bones with completely new compositions, harmonies and arrangements.

The EP includes some of the last remaining pieces of previously unused melodies from the past finally forged into 5 complete songs of wintry and folky MIDI synthscapes.

Eng. translation:
> menneenkierä = 'snowdrift of the halcyon days'

The Immanent Grove
by Fogweaver/Erreth-Akbe

supported by 14 fans who also own “Menneenkierä (EP '99-'02/'23)”

One of my favorite dungeon synth albums, and I had only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Perfect for drifting off to sleep, but also for driving under the canopy of trees. It is very soft, and pleasant, yet vast at times. The ambient forest sounds are extremely soothing. A wonderful work of art that feels as refreshing as diving into the deeps of a natural, cold spring in the eves of summer. Bjorn

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

Whispers from Ancient Vessels
by Damsel Elysium

Putting a disquieting spin on baroque pop, the UK experimentalist pairs immaculate neoclassical strings with dark, billowing synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 29, 2024

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
