Ambient instrumentation crafts a scene with a striking magnitude as macabre sounds reveal themselves…
Decaying Spheres present another incredibly-crafted EP, this one from Yorkshire-based artist Sulk Rooms. Inspired by the concept of secretive cults and societies, Ceremony initiates the listener into a dark underworld through the blending of rough textures and euphoric movements tinged with a sad but sinister edge.
Faceless perpetrators and voyeuristic onlookers haunt Ceremony, grey faces through the murky ambience. Its timbre is simultaneously dark and warm as if it resides in the shadows of some great sepulchral hall. The listening experience is one that phases from daunting and occult to strikingly personal with ease and grace.
With Ceremony, Sulk Rooms offers a uniquely cinematic ambient experience. An eerie, nightmarish wander through a shrouded place full of surreal visions and moving atmospheres.
