Ghosts On Broken Pavement is one exciting cinematic adventure, floating in deep liminal out of time spaces where the listener is immersed in vaporous ghostly moods.
Hailing from Brazil, Mount Shrine is a young dark ambient music project surfing on the waves of dense, poignant and panoramic soundscapes. The sound signature plays with micro-textures, cloudy drones, intense layers of reverbs and ominous, smoothly bass frequencies. This is the second release to be welcome by Cryo Chamber. Ghosts On Broken Pavement is one exciting cinematic adventure, floating in deep liminal out of time spaces where the listener is immersed in vaporous ghostly moods. Highly transportive from start to the end, Mount Shrine develops a state of clear compositional maturity in the respective atmospheric drone and downtempo ambient sub-genres. The soundscapes are gently moving, constantly peaceful with a nice kind of darkness, delicately spooky, admitting sometimes light moments. The album has its weak slippery moments (“Underpass”) but it reveals also amazingly vibrant and diaphanous sequences of everlasting elegiac serenity (“Gray-Tinged Suburbs,” “Empty Slopes”). A rather grey-toned ambient record with liquid droning patterns, spacious shadowy states, and semi-melodious bass impulses—beautifully sculpted emotional dreaminess. Those who like the more mellowing component of dark ambient music will be ravished by this new release. Easily recommended for fans of The Human Voice, Northaunt and Keosz.
Ghosts On Broken Pavement is available on Cryo Chamber.
