Embark on an immersive, psychedelic sonic journey with the debut release by Lucian Lacewing, ‘Land Of Enchantment’!
The Bristol-based multi-dimensional artist crafts a remarkable, spellbinding composition, ‘Land Of Enchantment’ featuring astral vocal layers (from 8 different vocal talents), sublime string melodies, and a heady, driving rhythm that envelops you in its intoxicating soundscape. What a first impression! Lacewing makes with this otherworldly release!
With a hypnotic combination of Carnatic harmonies, tanpura, and vocals, we’re welcomed into ‘Land Of Enchantment’. True to its moniker, the track has an alluring, enchanting effect upon you. Its evokes images of dense, heavy clouds of smoke and intoxicating aromas. With a delicate but gripping grace, the vocals ebb, complimented by spacious atmospherics.
On vocals we have, Qualia Cascade, Annette Buckley, Tanya Goknel, Julie Baker, Laura Peglar, Sarah Joy Pearson, Claire Few and Eleanor Murphy. Their collective vocal energy is arranged in compelling manner, as their angelic presentation forms the emotional core of the track. Themes of divinity, emergence and dissolution come to mind as you feel your mind travel realms.
The credit for the eclectic production and mixing of ‘Land Of Enchatment lies with Lucian and his longtime collaborator, Stef Hambrook. All through its almost 4 min runtime, the track pulses with a cosmic energy we haven’t heard the likes of!
Think the ambeint intrigue of Steven Wilson harmonised into Indian classical music. Its a fascinating experiment and we’re left feeling enchanted indeed. Look forward to hearing more Lucian Lacewing in his upcoming album ‘When We Were Hydrogen’
