In the Absence of Words - Ascension (2019) EN

Almost a year after his last release, the Swedish artist known as In the Absence of Words had in mind finally creating a long-play album, but it "became too arduous. I liked the idea of having a complete body of work but it became too stifling". This is how the new EP, Ascension, was born.

In the Swede's music there's wind, crunching snow and open wilderness of Scandinavia audible. Those guitar-based soundscapes enchant with slow pace and extremely melancholic taste. No wonder, as the long-play was supposed to be telling a story of "searching for spirituality, meditation and transcendence". It's true especially about the album's last - utterly peaceful and droning Hollow Realm.

Ascension costs 8 EUR (80 SEK).
