about

******************************************************

One of the Pacific Northwest’s hidden societies, GEIST & THE SACRED ENSEMBLE forge a doom - inflected folk ritualism; dirges tinged with Eastern psychedelia and meandering meditative trances.
For the last several years, the group has shown the Washington state underground a clear vision for their sound and lyrics – creating a shamanistic space for the listener, placing them into a trance, then building up the excitement.The overarching theme of their lyrical work is that of an idealist, a yearning for an end to the modern human condition, for destruction of the constructs & constraints of oppression. The group has appeared many times at Thirst For Light and on Hollow Earth Radio. GEIST & THE SACRED ENSEMBLE bring their hypnotic and emotionally charged live show to a wider audience this spring with a West Coast tour.

For this occasion, Scry Recordings is releasing DIG IN SESSIONS: III (a cassette with two musical hypnosis sessions from the vault) recorded by the group and mastered by MS Waldron (Nurse With Wound, irr.app.ext).

Regarding this series, the band comments:

“What is that, you ask? Over the years (2012-present) we have recorded most of our practices. Sometimes, practice turns into improvised playing and listening which we call "DIGS". We say DIGS
because whether you're digging a hole or creating music in the moment, it is the terrain that dictates the approach. The dig could
become a foundation for something bigger than itself or covered up and forgotten. We want to share a side of our sound that you may not always hear.”

Full Upon Her Burning Lips
by Earth

supported by 4 fans who also own “DIG IN SESSIONS: III”

Full Upon Her Burning Lips, c'est Dylan Carlson sur les guitares et Adrienne Davies sur les percussions. Point. Barre. ... Comme l'impression que l'histoire se répète — mais pas vraiment. Le personnel très réduit pourrait annoncer un nouveau Earth 2 : ce n'est pas le cas. Cette fois, les deux compagnons sont seuls et il n'y a aucun invité. Au lieu de nous propulser dans l'espace, le post-rock de cet album est intimiste. C'est lent, reposant. Earth est une sorte de phare au milieu des ténèbres. Jordan Vauvert

Probably the peak of their labyrinthine, esoteric melodic songwriting! Love the death metal added to this era of their style. Sanity Theorist
