Coming Soon: Elegi - New Album
Norwegian experimental/ambient artist Elegi has completed production of his second album, though no release date has yet been set. The follow up his haunting 2007 debut "Sistereis," the new album apparently finds mainman Tommy Jansen further developing his sound, and will incorporate several session musicians, including the use of a musical saw. Nevertheless, Jansen states that the album with keep the "dark, scary and melancholic Elegi- sound intact."
Elegi’s first album was released on Svarte Greiner frontman Erik Skodvin’s label, Miasmah, where its sound fits in perfectly - "Sistereis" is dominated by brooding, melancholic piano melodies accompanied by subtle, creepy noises and sounds lurking below the surface. Not unlike Svarte Greiner’s ‘acoustic doom,’ Elegi creates music that is soft and beautiful, but full of a sense of foreboding just as potent as anything that bands like Sunn O))) have put out.
