This is the work of Adam Richards who runs the House of Alchemy label. Here he is in full on eerie, spooked mode with lots of metallic percussion being both gently teased and getting a wee bit of a hammering. The dislocated vocals add a super strange twist to the sound, like a ghost trying to break out of its dimension and into our own. Often it is difficult to decipher what is making some of the sounds, I suspect manipulated tape recordings/effects but I could be wrong. A hallucinogenic lo-fi trip the darkside, which I'm finding rather satisfying.
If you have ever wondered what it would sound like to sneak into an abandoned Victorian mansion during a blizzard this is it. Translucent voices, bits of metal debris, found sounds and what sounds like some percussion all meld into a collage of frigid archaic beauty. When not running his House of Alchemy label Adam Richards has stayed rather busy the last couple of years maintaining a strong body of work with his Chapels project, creating hauntingly striking sound compositions. Like many Chapels releases the sounds within are opaque and eerie often hard to decipher but I think I like it better that way.
