Today, “Reveries Of Snow” is released as another single from my second Mansions In The Sea album “Gloom Folklore”. The CD is already available via the Winter Solitude shop, while the digital release continues to unfold song by song on a monthly basis.
“Reveries Of Snow” tells a mysterious murder story set in the snow. A dark winter folk tale for those who don’t just want to watch crime stories, but hear them. Somewhat in the vein of Nick Cave’s Murder Ballads, but in acoustic form – darker and more rough-edged, as if Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen had also served as godfathers. An epic, narrative-driven song, deliberately kept simple so the vocals can carry the story. For those who don’t treat music as mere background noise, but let entire worlds emerge in their minds while listening.
