About this product
Since their foundation in 1994, Moon Far Away, hailing from Arkhangelsk, Russia, have developed a unique style out of the established neo-folk tropes of the western world and the musical heritage of their home turf - the Russian North; a hotbed within the country for literature, visual arts, architecture and, of course, music. With influences as diverse as their background, they engaged in neoclassical dark wave and world music on earlier releases, and have remained a relatively unknown gemstone until this day. In the meantime, the group has honed it's colorful blend to quasi-perfection, which is more than evident on it's fifth record and Auerbach Tonträger/Prophecy Productions debut, InchAthanor EurasiaInch. While deftly weaving together acoustic guitars and wind instruments, as well as both female and male voices, this new album is a neo-folk of outstanding quality with the traditional song always in focus. In part, the result harks back to the likes of Death In June, Forseti or Sol Invictus (whose Tony Wakeford appears as a guest on 'Celebrate!') whereas other tracks are adaptions of passed-down Northern Russian folk tunes the band collected on expeditions to the Arkhangelsk Oblast - the musicians' subarctic home region. Within this dense tapestry all threads, regardless of their geographical or cultural origin, make up a unified whole that defies categorization. Thus, InchAthanor EurasiaInch venerates the tradition of shared space both conceptually and musically. InchIt is not about country borders or maps, emigrants or geopoliticsInch, stresses Count Ash, the group's masked leader. InchWe like to think of InchAthanor EurasiaInch as the first album of Eurasian neo-folk in that it is based on the canons outlined in the West, yet enriched with the ideas and sentiments born in the East. This is how we have been living and creating for many years, feeling complete

'Throughout it's 17 years of existence, Hungarian duo The Moon And The Nightspirit not once failed to enthrall lovers of mythical folk music. With traces of paganism and tribalism, the pair has existed in it's very own fairytale world throughout six albums and countless intense live shows on international stages - but now, it was time for them to readjust their approach. Speaking of their new full-length InchAetherInch as a Inchmilestone in the history of the bandInch, guitarist and lyricist Mihály refers to a surprising stylistic recalibration during songwriting - for whereas so far, singer Ágnes' voice has been front and center, the two-piece now perfectly balances the female and male sides of it's musical entity. Consequently, The Moon And The Nightspirit are as flamboyant as they have ever been. As forerunners of a new generation of heavenly folk music that takes it's cues from Dead Can Dance as much as it's immediate surroundings, they filter their time-honored mixture of richly layered sounds, shamanistic chants and multiple instruments from different periods through masculine powers, maintaining both their graceful delicacy and peerless inventiveness. With added focus on harsh vocals, InchAetherInch seems not only impeccably executed - arranged with the group's fabled passion and virtuosity - but also makes good on the promise of InchMetanoiaInch If it's predecessor rekindled an inner flame, we are now faced with a glaring fire that lights our way on Incha journey through the Gateless Gates to the source of creation to find the Divine essence of the soul, to remember our Great Cosmic Unity and oneness...Inch InchAetherInch is available as Digipak CD, gatefold LP (black, ltd. Transparent violet) and 2CD box set incl. Digipak CD, 4-track bonus CD (one alternate album track, three live recordings), mini poster and a hand-signed and numbered postcard (500 copies a
