Dawn and Dusk Entwined : When I die… - CD
Ref: 22918
File: DarkWave / DarkFolk / PostPunk For fans of: King Dude, Kirlian Camera, Death In June, Of The Wand & The Moon, SixComm… With guest appereances by Patrick Leagas (Sixth Comm / Death in June) and Hélène; Coming in a 6-panel eco-digifile, limited Edition of 500 copies, Since their debut in 1999 on the cult label WORLD SERPENT, Dawn+Dusk Entwined have become something of heroes for fans of dark folk and dark wave sounds. After a break of several years, there was a first sign of life in April 2022 with GODWIN POINT, a side project of David S., and now finally the long-awaited new regular album is ready! Musically, the morbid mood remains predominant, but alternates with analogue / electronic passages, creating an 80's soundtrack that seems darkfolk and dark ambient influenced, but at the same time, thanks to the voices of Patrick Leagas ( Sixth Comm / Death in June ) and Hélène, with a touch of PostPunk and reminiscence of the 80's DarkWave times. In the end, however, David's familiar voice assures us that this is indeed a D+DE album. Great songs! Great melodies! Probably the best DAWN+DUSK ENTWINED album so far! Review BLACK Magazin : "Definitely the best album name of the year! Without falling into too much nostalgia and romanticising, there were those times around the middle to end of the 90s when very valuable records flooded the market almost weekly through labels like Cold Meat Industry, World Serpent and also Projekt Records. These were mostly in the field of neo-folk, dark ambient and atmospheric wave sounds. The French band Dawn+Dusk Entwined left a small but fine trace in the now very blown away sands of time with their debut album on World Serpent, which oscillated between dark ambient and sacral wave. So what can we expect in 2022? Exciting guest contributions such as that of a Patrick Leagas from Sixth Comm in the beautifully elegiac but also thematically very dark "Promises to Keep", which drifts between neo-classical and minimal PostPunk, while Helene Carpentier might ennoble "The Earth is my Church" and "Brumes". .... A nostalgic departure, which musically brings together the best years of this style with the most important references and friends of such at that time very creative bands like Runes Order, the early Kirlian Camera, Frozen Autumn or also the Cold Wave of earlier Lycia or Morthem Vlade Art loved, will have his joy with all the analogue electronic sounds and romantic wistful atmospheres. Dark Wave, as it is hardly to be heard today and thus a clear recommendation - a nice album for the dark season.
