With their fifth full-length \"Acou\", MOON FAR AWAY embark on a musical exploration of the magical nature of sound. The band from the sub-arctic city of Arkhangelsk in Russia's north is studying the mythological cycle of the universe by assigning certain sounds and musical styles that range from the archaic and folklore to liturgical, classical, and even experimental music to each stage of its existence.\u003cbr\u003eMOON FAR AWAY have occasionally been referred to as \"the heart of Russian gothic folk\" or \"The Russian Dead Can Dance\", which are notions that still ring true regarding \"Acou\". Their music appears to be both light and even dreamy on the surface, yet at the same time it comes with a dignity, gravitas and passionate seriousness that set these songs apart from simple pop; despite sounding captivating and melodic.\u003cbr\u003eMOON FAR AWAY have dedicated themselves to the preservation of local traditions, both musically and culturally. By combining traditional European culture with the soundscapes of the Russian North, and influences from classic to neofolk as well as modern technology, their music offers a unique artistic expression where the East meets the West.\u003cbr\u003eWith \"Acou\", MOON FAR AWAY present their richest and most complete album so far that will find old and new friends from a wide range of stylistic preferences that certainly include fans of DEAD CAN DANCE, ALCEST, WARDRUNA, and many others – although the unique band from Russia's North does sound different from all of those mentioned above.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53459904725335,"sku":"P-172655-","price":33.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Moon-Far-Away-Acou-CD-ARTBOOK-172655-1-1767090472.jpg?v=1778315136","url":"https:\/\/shop.season-of-mist.com\/products\/moon-far-away-acou-cd-artbook","provider":"Season of Mist - International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
