This is lush stuff from Réka Csiszér, who is described as a Hungarian Transylvanian vocalist, composer and performer. For the most part, it’s all vworgey synths and a bit of wordless chanting. Though it’s entirely beatless, the tone varies from the ethereal (at their floatiest, the vocals have a touch of Ligeti to them) to something more richly vibrant. There are a couple of palate-cleansers around the middle of the record: 222 is a crunchy, almost concrète, thing made of jumbled fragments of distorted vocals and industrial brouhaha; Vali 2.0 is a torch song accompanied by an echoey piano. The final track, Eternia Now, is a 26-minute ambient epic, and I’m starting to wonder whether closing an album out that way is getting to be a little bit of a cliché, but it’s a very warm and satisfying 26-minute ambient epic with some subtly-done vocals sighing away in the upper registers and it works here. This music is far too interesting to be cosy, but it does give me the happy fuzzies.
I bought this from the label’s bandcamp page.
