“Crow” by Forest Swords
About a year and a half ago, this music video caught my eye and also led me to discovering other artists like Lorn and Dolor as well as rediscovering Aphex Twin. This track slowly builds with industrial-masked tropical percussion. A wailing lead and a haunting array of sounds blends into a phrenic song full of dark mood. Just an all-round great track to play while your party is wandering through a dangerous ruin-filled wadi or some ill-lit backstreet in Gnomon.
P.S.
Shoutout to Kunrong Yap, who made the header art for today’s post. Go check him out (especially Tormance) for great Vaarnish inspiration.
