Moth Tower - Clavitasian Threshold

Spectral eerie dungeon synth from Denmark releasing on vinyl.

Vibrant and kaleidoscopic, sometimes uplifting, but also bleak and unsettling in its strangely dreamlike foundation. Martial drums and poignant melodies are presented in a haunted surreal ghost world with little to hang on to for those visiting the Clavitasian planes for the first time, but much to come back to on later revisits.

As the 2nd chapter in Moth Tower's Void Trilogy, and the 2019 follow-up to the seminal 'Sharpen Thy Knife, Curse The Sky' (GON009), 'Clavitasian Threshold' always held its own ground as one of the most powerful and unique albums to come out during those final formative years of the dungeon synth revival. It remains a milestone in the Gondolin catalogue, and is very much due for a vinyl pressing.


ORG. DESCRIPTION FOR THE MMXIX TAPE:

Clavitasian Threshold is vibrant kaleidoscopic dungeon synth offering an ultimately uplifting yet strangely unsettling listening experience. The album is inspired by a post-mortem dream taking place in a fictional universe created by the artist's subconsciousness. This has also influenced the composition of the tracks, which are growing and changing more than on previous Moth Tower material.

Moth Tower is the solo project of E. Brahe from Denmark. It garnered some attention last year with the well-received debut 'Sharpen Thy Knife, Curse The Sky', which partly relied on older unreleased compositions. While this old material may still be present in some fragmentary forms, the six tracks on 'Clavitasian Threshold' should be considered new work.
