Day Before Us :: As My Spirit Wanders Free (Gradual Hate)

A distinctive body of heart-moving emotional soundscaping textures, crushing noisy drones of cathartic beauty, shrouded by a tremendous cinematic aura.

A dense, engaging and shimmering neotonal work of art

The awaited new Day Before Us album titled As My Spirit Wanders Free is now available for pre-order. The album is delivered in standard digipack edition and ultra limited edition as deluxe box, marking the 10th anniversary of the project. Musically it offers a distinctive body of heart-moving emotional soundscaping textures, crushing noisy drones of cathartic beauty, shrouded by a tremendous cinematic aura. The compositions are mainly built around piano minor chords, incantatory voices, weeping winds of electronic oscillations. It is a dense, engaging and shimmering neotonal work of art that defies stylistic borders and which can easily enthrall the listener thanks to moving harmonic landscapes and epic doom sounds.

The album casts a well balanced dialogue between the lush gothic-inspired soundscapes of Day Before Us (Philippe Blache, newly in artistic partnership with singer Agne Srebaliute) and the striking imagery of Moscow based photographer Natalie Ina. Natalie’s unique world of feelings embraces magical chill, sorrowful wordless poetical drama and heathen mysticism, the whole creative identity is shrouded by a sense of timeless grace and melancolic grandeur. Her very own imagery and insightful creative leanings find a field of expression through painting, art photography and films. As My Spirit Wanders Free is an undeniably central piece in the GH Records catalog.

As My Spirit Wanders Free is available on Gradual Hate. [Bandcamp]
