HOROLOGIUM - 'Tellurian Anthems' LP (La Esencia)
Poland's Horologium need hardly any introduction. Over the years they have managed to create their own musical language and win many hearts in the post-industrial milieu. On "Tellurian Anthems" Martial trumpets, Orchestral fury and tribal percussion have been skillfully combined with delicate Neoclassical fragments, dreamy Ambient parts and female recitation. Sea waves singing alongside gentle piano tunes, radio broadcasts fight against air raid sirens, fire meeting water meeting fire... Around 40mins of music. Ltd x 333 copies in a stunning, heavyweight gatefold sleeve with an elegant A2 poster.

LCHM - 'Terra Australis Incognita' CD (La Esencia)
Debut album from LCHM, inspired by the short stories of Jorn Riel, a Danish writer who lived for 16 years in the most isolated and impervious areas of Greenland in the early 20th Century, at close quarters with the hunters who originally lived there. With this work, LCHM has tried to recreate, by means of sound, the lights and shadows of these great and unknown men who lived extraordinary experiences by relying on their own forces alone, on their adaptability and on their will to survive in an age when you didn't have much to begin with. LCHM was born out of a passion for audial research, the study of human psychology, and ispirations drawn from several esoteric practices. Deep and wide sounds, bright and obscure, unique and full of nuances. LCHM conceives and records all of its material using sounds captured in nature, in unusual places, or created using other instruments. Digipak.
