Alluring Pagan Magic Shimmers Within The Beautiful For Want Of From The Mesmerising Aursjoen

For Want Of

San Fransisco

Following up on the gothic masterpiece Nytar covered previously in Sound Read Six, the vocalist from Octavian Winters brings single number two and the long-anticipated EP. The enchanting For Want Of takes Aursjoen on yet another darkly adventure through sound, imagery, and strange seductive serenades. Released on Stratis Capta Records, Strand EP was recorded in Chicago and has been produced, recorded, and mastered byWilliam Faith. He has worked with iconic acts such as The Bellwether Syndicate, Christian Death, Faith And The Muse, and The March Violets. Both singles also have a video made with the help of David Kruschke, featuring the artist in distinct and dreamworthy settings. The classically trained and sensibly street-wise Ria Aursjoen can be assured her cinematic and ethereal journeys are mapped in perfect detail. From Strand EP, this is For Want Of.

As the keys dapple in illuminating phrases, a drum greets Aursjoen as the vocal rises. The melody emerges, evolving and increasing in intensity, a harmonious flow of orchestration shimmers and grows within the mix. Aursjoen’s voice is mixed together with various line interpretations, melody greets structure and alignment as the words overlap like breaking waves on the river shore. Swaying motions of percussion surge on as the pumping fire bursts in the darkness and images of folk tales and mystery flicker in her nocturnal grimoire of reality. For Want Of from Aursjoen is a dedication to beauty and fantasy, tinged with a dowsing of intriguing humanity, the epic tale continues.
