about

Atmospheric dark folk and synth music from Finland centered around the serene acoustic melancholy sounds of the kantele - a wooden psaltery invented some time in early medieval times. Or as described in the Kalevala: The mage Väinämöinen made the first kantele, and the music it made drew all the creatures of the forest near to wonder at its beauty.

'Woodsmoke' was the debut full-length of the unique folk music project Nest, which has been active since the late 90s. While it shares some commonalities with other neoclassical darkwave, dark folk and neofolk projects of the time, it also sets itself apart by reducing vocals to occasional whispered poems in favour of immersive nature-oriented electronic productions that accompany minimal traditionalist compositions. Nest remains active as a live project, and headlined the Northeast Dungeon Siege MMXXIII festival.

This release is the follow up to 'Fabled Lore & Hidden Stream' (GON112). It brings 'Woodsmoke' out on tape for the first time, and includes lyrics and drawings made by the artist to accompany the music. It also contains the Nest cover versions of Skepticism's The Gallant Crow and Agalloch's Haunted Birds adding up to +24 mins of bonus material.

flies the coop
by Hole Dweller

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly

flies the coop II

My favorite out of the three I believe.The sound is more aggressive and fits the cover art of what looks like a perilous journey for the protagonist. Fits well at being the second in the trilogy of albums. Every song is good and the cassette tape and package is of good quality. A Great buy that deserves a vinyl edition. Joshua Laleina

I love the mix of quiet melancholy and soaring wonder here. Listening makes me feel like I am looking up at the night sky on another world, watching impossible boreal colors dance along the horizon while tall trees sway in the keening wind, and gray-cloaked figures add their own long-dead voices to the joyful lament.
