THE REVIEW

"The Bread Woman" knocks at the door, a timeless character who tells her story with her unknown language, with the physicality of Anna Homler and the sound comments of Stevie Moshier.

In "Breadwoman & Other Tales" Homler is possessed by the ancient spirit, she dresses entirely in bread and intones an occult ethnic metaphysical ritual through which we are transported to an archaic world that follows the paths of an existence taking shape through suspended spheres and unsettling hymns of times that do not belong to us, in an unknown language, the mother of the Babel of languages of our world, only supported by the mysterious yet always human industrial ambient electronic foundations of the musical medium Moshier.

World music from an outside world. A voice that wants to experiment, narrate, lead us into a state of trance induced by the vibrant vocal cords, by the never intrusive musical comments that emphasize and bind the experimental spirit covered in conceptual humus.

Starting from "Ee Che", a repetitive chant, a sort of work field song beyond the gates of reality, marked by an industrial beat and liquid analog ripples.

Leading to the total possession of "Sirens". The voice chokes, stretches into elastic vocalizations that coil around an ambient body, culminating in the final Babel-like "Celestial Ash", 17 minutes of voices, languages, whispers that overlap and oppose the sound exorcism of electronic flows that build a cathedral of palpable uneasy feelings.

A mysterious work with dark anachronism, with an enigmatic message, it does not bore for a moment but suspends the listening in a dimension of unexplained and inexplicable morbid fascination.
