death speaks, by David Lang

death speaks

by David Lang

supported by

pascalina Beautiful isolated words ... through life ... sad ... but strong ... fragile ... Favorite track: pain changes.

Arjan Although Death Speaks is the center piece of this record, starring the wonderful Shara Worden, from the first listen the last song here, "Depart", has caught my attention. It's the perfect slow and wordless ending to the loneliness and sadness of death purveyed in the first part. But, all together, a great listen! Favorite track: depart.

Compositions with somewhat cinematic feelings and good chunk of diversity between them. Bandcamp doesn't allow me set Draft of a High-Rise as my favourite, so I have to go with second best track Gremlin Monroe
