Barbarous Refinements

by Lexemes

supported by

Joseph Hawker A pulverising, bare display quite unlike your normal affair. Absolutely no bravado or nonsense - which seems accurate and representative when you understand what this album is trying to show you. You soon become enraptured and addicted to its adrenaline. Powerful stuff. Favorite track: On Being A Scarecrow In A Birdless Field.

plove This album gets me amped up! Intense and layered. I mean there's a lot going on you could miss on first listen, which is great cause every listen has more to discover. But either way, even that first listen will Melt Your Shredded Face! Favorite track: This Isn't Happening.

BARBAROUS REFINEMENTS

Faces peek from behind broken glass
Ash settled into the frames
Every memory coalesced
Uniform and hopeless

Ellribjǫð

Elder Goblin is the master of tone. This is one of those artists you can’t get enough of and find yourself desperately searching something similar. Both releases are creepy and butter smooth. Fat-ass tones paint an impressionist (and impressive!) landscape of fuzzed out darkness. Headphones highly recommended Big Big Jambo

Slow, brooding and fit for a funeral. Stepping into a Ghoëst release always feels like ceasing everything and crossing over to the unknown. It feels like dying in the most tranquil and peaceful way possible. MarsDragoner
