Additional Details
Dreamscapes For Solitude & The Facilitation Of Escape.
The first full length, Peculiar Storms, utilizes elements of new age, drone, world/folk, dungeon synth, and field recordings of nature & storms. Combining lush soundscapes with the moodiness of the art and the ambiguity of the text, the album serves as a drift off point to abstract and surreal landscapes. Monastery seeks to facilitate escape to more haunting and dreamier worlds than the one where we reside.
For fans of Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, Cyclobe, Current 93, Secret Stairways, Era 1 Mortiis, Ulver, Coil, Loreena McKennitt, and Enya.
Released in March 2014 by New England-based art collective Seraphim House.
released March 27, 2014
Music & Words were written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Monastery mostly over the course of 2013 at Seraphim House, New England.
Mastered by Sean Glonek in October 2013 at SRG Studios, New Jersey.
All Paintings & Illustrations by Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914)
The words that accompany song III, along with its title, were taken from His Dark Materials-Book I: The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman who retains the copyright (1995) and is published by Laurel Leaf.
