Black Synthetic and Dense

The Spinglass Hydra Thoroughly impressive work by this fantastic duo, so think an exotic blend of Dead Can Dance, the Cranes, and The Cocteau Twins. Cirque d'Ess has music that's filled with mystic landscapes of enchanted and sometimes forbidding arenas, interstiched by deep, dark, and foreboding guitar reverb. "Creaky Leaves" is a hair-raising experience, as you don't just hear music, it's a true act of participation. This is the "Rolls Royce" standard, if, you're an independent thinker -- You will "Get It... !!!"

bushnellthefat Great synth-heavy tunes, sometimes strange but in a good way! Hypnotic. Favorite track: Sexxxy Leah.

FredLem one of the best dark duo with Syzygyx, Italia has something to say about that kind of music, since Kirlian Camera, but KC is a sweet candy compared to Cirque d'Ess ,-) / Plein d'idées dans la ligne vocale et l'envirronement musical, bravo ! Favorite track: Farenine 514.

I want to be like The Frog The Frog who comes inside Inside a hole under ceiling To keep her safe from the Spirits I want to be like The Frog When colours (be)comes so bright And my blood shakes in veins And my chest makes the fright (I) don't want to be like The Frog That hopping in the night With no skin and no safe From cruel steps of Passerby A grass ceiling A grass feeling The false feelings.
2.
In the rain, like a horse with rush and rush In the rain, a very strange sound on the ground Like someone were riding And he rides A sound that mistakes! In the rain, like something falling with crush In the rain, so strange autumn leaves Walk in the leaves Walk in the leaves Walk on the leaves.

Tonight I feel only bitter tastes Like burned bread At the end of my tongue Insted I want only sweet tastes Like milk chocolate And sugar candied.

A Spooky Host at my window tonight I sense its dark shape while I put out my cigarette I wonder how it can get here But I have no fear Only a sense of surprise And I am just a bit worried A Spooky Host at my window this night I sense its strange stretched legs While normal people begins to dance I wonder that The Guy Who Decides Is shorter and smaller than me He's moving fast and strange And never answers my question.

Last year I lived In a house for rent With too many rooms With an ancient lounge In the house there was A locked room The door was always closed And so, I rermember What the owner said... The owner told me A lot of times He repeated two times Three times, a lot of times Not to get in the room!! But one day, in the morning I had a wild wish To get inside Inside the room The room was full of stuff Everywhere, in every corner I was courious And open the locker! Inside there was a fur It was the right dress I was wearing it But what's inside the pocket..? I felt something cold, something hard There was a gun!!

My red red wine now is falling apart This unknown “Laney” is out of order My Fascist Apple now is broken She cames from the scenes She rummages through her bag She wears her lipstick Flame red Marla's washing machine doesen't work That dripping tap now is damaged She cames from the scenes She smells like candy and smoke She cames from the wings She swallows another drink.

Caustic 04:04
There's something in my head Makes me go insane There's something in my head Makes me go insane With no key Your lock is failed I can't go out and I can't come in My key is broken And I can't go there I can't go out and I can' t come in My key is fucked And I can't go there Your lock is failed.

She was screaming She was always screaming She had a mother A thin and hunchback old Pills everywhere Venous hands She had a Husband Tall and flabby With a very thorn mouth Often he cooked soup and prawns A mongrel Sensless crying at the door Shitting and pissing on the floor She was screaming She screams.

about

“Black Synthetic And Dense” is an immersion into a deep and dark world of atmospheric and evocative sounds. Taking inspiration by a wide range of music styles including Darkwave, Shoegaze, EBM, Techno and Drone, this album contains songs with intense basses, dreamy dark guitars, dance floor rhythms, layered and wide synths, weird industrial objects and huge reverbs. From mysterious whispers to harsh screams passing through experimental and unusual melodic vocal lines, every song is about real and strange life experiences in allegorical and expressionist way.
Despite every song has its own peculiar story, them are all chained by
a common and constant “fil rouge” that makes this album sound organic and flowing.

Under a black hood, driven by liturgical images and sustained by dance floor sounds... this is “Ritualwave”.

All songs and lyrics written and composed by CIRQUE D’ESS except
lyrics on “Farenine 514” freely based on the poem “Lady Lazarus” by
Sylvia Plath.
Sax on “Lydia for Frankie” by Alessandro Froli.
Lydia Lunch’s voice on “Lydia for Frankie” was taken from an interview on 2009.

Track 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 : Co-produced by Cirque d’Ess and Lorenzo Montanà
Track 3, 6, 8 10 : Produced by Cirque d’Ess

Mix & Master by Valerio Girmenia @ Beatco Studios - Livorno (IT)
Mix & Master of “A Spooky Host Remix” by S Y Z Y G Y X (US)
