Wereju - the way of the cross cdr


"Cathal's blurry, eerie drones have a lot in common with Aidan Baker's solo guitarscapes and the massive string tones of Fear Falls Burning, but this is darker stuff than either of those artists. Heavily processed feedback swells in tide-like form, deep and sonorous, and underneath the warbling ambience is a dark soundworld enveloped in shadow".
(quote from Crucial Blast Records).

Null/Void & Shores of Darkness - split cdr

Null/Void offers a droning soundscape, not as noisy as we've come to expect... this is a rare lull in the storm. Melodic drones and distant percussion, but still with that sense of impending doom. Shores of Darkness offers another dark minimal dronescape.. always intriguing.

Cronin Drumlish - to wish and make it so cdr

Unlike his dark and minimal Shores of Darkness work, here Cronin Drumlish offers another take on his idea of drone. Not as dark or vague, this time you can hear hints of the various stringed instruments and field recordings he used as source material. Beautiful soundscapes.

Shores of Darkness - on a scale of black to grey cdr

Shores of Darkness is Cronin Drumlish, now based in Dublin, Ireland, his weird accent offers no clue as to where he's from originally. He's a little shady if you ask him.. This shadiness transposes itself to his music too.. here he offers up 3 tracks of minimal droning soundscapes.
