Golden Trebuchet - Brilliant Gemstones (2022)

Coincidentally, this week's Golden Trebuchet is already the second artist I post about this month, who claims to be from the very sparsely populated, arctic territories of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. And again, while I doubt that it is backed by reality, the nature of the artist's music clearly explains why they chose those desolate regions for their alternative homeland.

Golden Trebuchet is a music projects with clear and, quite frankly, very impressive visual side with all of those black and gold graphics on their Bandcamp account. But most importantly, it is a music project that delivers immersive experiences in the form of drone soundscapes that sound as if they could have been recorded on the far north part of Europe. Some parts of the release comprise of soothing ambient that flows through the speakers like a northern wind while others, especially towards the end, are more like the most uninviting but impressive in many ways blizzards. I like how conceptual the whole project is and that everything seems to be coherent. And the well-done ambient music certainly fits it as well.

Brilliant Gemstones costs whatever you want to pay.
