fovea hex - allure
Allure, released by Janet Records and Die Stadt Records in 2007, is the concluding part of Fovea Hex's remarkable trilogy of EPs, Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent.
A unique, atmospheric, fusion of folk song and electronica created and written by respected Irish singer-songwriter Clodagh Simonds, Allure features contributions from Robert Fripp, Steven Wilson, Donal Lunny and Percy Jones, amongst others.
"The music carries as much strength and emotion as Simonds' voice does......the effect is devastatingly moving" (brainwashed.com)
"...haunting and cathedral-like, but at the start tethered in more traditional structures with harmonium, zither and strings setting up the mood before dissipating into the gossamer of treated guitars, tonal harmonics and ambient drones. Fripp's beguiling guitar theatrics on "Long Distance" nicely underscore Simonds' climactic vocal incantations....before settling into a beautifully charged and vocal-less epiphany of melancholy and fragility...." (Aquarius Records SF)
