Mirror Lands

twijfel Incredible piece of music...and I haven't seen the movie yet. It's teasing, as it never fully exposes it's beauty; it observes, but never judges; it's delicate in it's structure, but totally convincing. It can't be pigeonholed in one specific genre. Thank god for that. It's an experience... Favorite track: Boars And Bunkers.

Late Night Loneliness
by A Veil Of Water

supported by 6 fans who also own “Mirror Lands”

A Veil of Water really hits the spot with this collection of calm melodies. Late Night Loneliness came out this summer on Hidden Vibes and has a supremely relaxing blend of ambient and post-rockish sounds. Piano, guitar, rhodes, the occasional whisper. The kind of chords for when you need something soothing and familiar. Gene Hex ● Evening of Light
