Space, in its unfathomable vastness, has since long been a subject of fascination for those who tilt their heads toward the skies. Full of awe despite its supposed desolation, it is here we place our hopes and dreams of a better future, of continued existence altogether. It is also here, where the lines between dream and reality become too subtle to differentiate, that we find three entities emerging from the apparent void. Their figures mere shadows, as if cast by the beckoning lights that burn from lifetimes away. Though the dead air does not reverberate, these travellers know not of silence. As wielders of the mighty fuzz-science fiction rock, they seem to echo through the very core of existence, unearthing a reality more bizarre than the strangest of fictions. Yet they move forward, to the extent such a direction is possible in the depths of the universes. Their destination is unclear, as is their mission, but the cosmos is calling and they will answer. Inspired by uncertainty and with a serendipitous approach, they know but this: no power in the ‘verse can stop them!
Set in the 1920’s, Earth (Eorþe) is a mystery with Lovecraftian connotations, philosophically told through eight songs. The record is the telling of a story by author Nils Håkansson, written specifically for SKRAECKOEDLAN to put into music.
In addition to CD and standard vinyl Eorþe also comes in a very limited edition, a box set in which the album has been split into two gatefold vinyls, "Earth: Above and Earth: Below". The box comes packed with pieces of merch revolving around the story and features different artwork than the standard editions.
SKRAECKOEDLAN states this concerning the release:
“This is by far our most ambitious work of art as of yet. It’s been a real challenge to do someone else’s story justice whilst making the songs cohesive as well as standing strong on their own, but through a lot of effort we’ve done just that.”
After those words and the preview of the tunes makes me want this, even more, do as I did, preorder the album at fuzzoramastore!
The upcoming album "Earth" due to be released 15th of Feb - 2019. Preorders: www.fuzzoramastore.com *Limited Edition LP boxset available!*
Today's tune "Kung Mammut", is the first single to be released from SKRAECKOEDLANs upcoming album "Eorþe".
"This song is, more than a part of the concept that is Eorþe, a story about life and the feelings of utter hopelessness our seeming oddity of an existence can often give rise to. It is a song about letting go and leaving behind. It’s about shattering the societal mirror and its reflection of illusionary demands and expectations, leaving your unhindered gaze looking ahead, to where your true calling lies. In short, it is a song about becoming truly free.
A quick run true the new album, have fun!
