'Naive melodies for imaginary films and short walks' is how the Berlin based Willow Tea describe their music and their latest, Death And Life And All That Lays In Between certainly conjures images of something stalking the land.
This is very much my sort of comfy synth project with lots of lovely wobbly flutes and eerie mellotron choral vocals crafting a sense of creeping incidental unease in a similar fashion to earlier Active Listener favourites The Soulless Party or The Heartwood Institute. Fans of either of those acts would do well to investigate immediately.
And a serving suggestion if I may: I had this on heavy rotation while reading David Barnett's latest folk-horror opus Scratch Moss and it paired very nicely with Barnett's tale of an ancient evil stirring from deep within the earth.
