Darkness treads light as a feather. The sinister yet beguiling images that DARKHER aka Jayn Maiven paints with her ethereal vocals, guitars, and added strings conjure iridescent cinematic scenes, in which it becomes hard to tell whether there lies beauty in darkness or if it is the other way around.
With her sophomore full-length "The Buried Storm", the West Yorkshire based guitarist, composer, lyricist, and producer has clearly succeeded to even improve the beloved alchemic musical formula that was firmly established on DARKHER's debut album "Realms" in 2016. Her mostly eerie and at times even outright sinister sonic storytelling comes refined on every level.
DARKHER have delivered another frightening masterpiece that easily transcends musical boundaries with its broad appeal to friends of dark sounds regardless of genre.
"This is a cautious album, it’s slow and beautifully methodical. It doesn’t rush into anything and lures you into its gloomy beauty, and then drowns you in the dark waters of sorrow. it’s a kaleidoscope of immersion like being smacked with a tidal wave of emotion. In short, the music here is captivating." New Noise Magazine
Maud the Moth is the solo project of Spanish-born and Scotland-based pianist, singer and songwriter Amaya López-Carromero. Maud the Moth serves as Amaya’s alter ego: a séance-like conduit through which to process personal life experiences, and in particular themes of rootlessness, identity and trauma. Stylistically, Maud the moth uses her classical training as a platform upon which her eclectic songwriting and cathartic solo live performances rest. With the usage of live looping, Amaya weaves sonic tapestries riddled with distorted or effected pianos and driven by an enigmatic and deeply moving voice.
Maud the moth is currently working on her fourth full-length “The Distaff”, which has recently been awarded
Creative Scotland funding.
