RISING SHADOWS - 'Found In The Cold' CD (Twilight Records)
With "Found In The Cold", Rising Shadows explores a colder and more distorted, harsh landscape than before, yet still holding up the ethereal beauty with the voice of Linda-li. Lyrically and musically the album is a continuation of the themes from "Falling Deep Within". The dreamy, folk inspired songs are still there with the dark lyrics of a journey through life into death and the catharsis in between. Rising Shadows speak about the world of imagination all of us have in mind; a possible world, full of tales, fantastic creatures and beautiful landscapes. A fantastic journey through the mystical world of faeries, wizards and gnomes. Try to search your lost and sad princess into the deep and dark forest of Scandinavia. Imagine a mix of Dead Can Dance, Ennio Morricone and Kate Bush and you'll getting closer to the sound of Rising Shadows! Digipak.
Debut album from a band many of you will recognise from our award winning compilation "John Barleycorn Reborn". Tinkerscuss are an English folk duo comprised of sisters Bryony and Erin Holden. "Nine Trees" features an enchanting combination of rich vocals (sung in English, Gaelic and Cornish), acoustic guitar, mandola, harp, shruti box, accordion, violin and viola. Weaving a musical path to the twilight world of dreams. "There’s a growing force in folk that’s steadily developed in the South-West. That force is Tinkerscuss... Each song fits into the whole as the trees fit the forest and the grass the meadow. This is fey folk with fire... “Nine Trees” stays with you from the first hearing. It sheds a pale light on the far dark side of mystical while exploring the wild reaches of nature’s cyclic death and resurgence." (Folkwords).
