Raffaele Pezzella's Sonologyst submits ghostly goods with a great, new musical anthology: Hauntology in UK, as produced and released by Eighth Tower Records.
The term "hauntology" was coined by philosopher Jacques Derrida, which alluded to a niggling spread of social exhaustion (through defunct and/or useless but sustained beliefs); however, for this Sonologyst compilation, the tracks reference conventional, spectral manifestations, as offered by some of the UK's most effectual composers.
In fact, their emotive selections invoke such popular terror tales as The Haunting; The Uninvited; The Amityville Horror; Poltergeist; and The Legend of Hell House, to name but a few. Of course, it's all up to the listener what cobwebbed estate, graveyard stretch or dank chamber one wishes to investigate. One thing is for certain: It'll be an easy task, thanks to the contents' bewitching draws, which consist of howling moans and grappling, ethereal tides.
For a shivering enticer, Hauntology's phantasmic contents are listed below, with artist(s), followed by track titles:
Rapoon & Sonologyst - Ghost of My Life
Howlround - A Slow Cancellation
Grey Frequency - Grey Mist
Rapoon & Sonologyst - Illusions of a Recent Past
Pascal Savy - After Dark
Howlround - A Failure of Absence
Michael Bonaventure - Mavisbank
Foreseer - Creux es Faies
Dead Space Chamber Music - The Grail Carol
The compositions are, indeed, creepy but also relaxing. One needn't be a specter to savor their luxuriant, spine-numbing vim. These are creations of the gradual-ascent kind, constructed to summon a steady autumnal shiver into the ears of any alternate-dimensional seeker.
Order Hauntology in UK via download or on CD; it'll be the best spiritual possession you could ever hope to make:
