Myriad Valley – Otherworld

We are honored to bring you the debut release from Myriad Valley.

How to sum this one up? It’s the sort of psychedelic, devotional, folk horror, acoustic drone music that brings to mind The Third Ear Band, Popol Vuh, Natural Snow Buildings, Flying Saucer Attack and the soundtrack to Blood On Satan’s Claw. Usually all at once.

It has that huge, monolithic sound yet at the same time seems devoid of any digital trickery, seemingly assembled from ritualistic folk instruments. It’s a world of mountaintop dawns in remote regions, dark woodland cacophonies and hymns to the sun.

I was so spellbound by the album, I quite deliberately avoided asking the artist for any technical details or credits, and was delighted to see a similar lack of detail on the artwork they provided.

Only 35 tapes made, though its also available in digital

We’re so freaked out about this music that we’ve also commissioned a second album from Myriad Valley.
