SKELDOS — Ilges
More Info
"Ilgės (en: "Caretakers of Yearning") - the third album by Skeldos.
The album was inspired by a poem by the Lithuanian writer Antanas kėma titled A Lie, which talks about the hope that there is something important beyond the desolate routine. Two extended pieces awash in melancholy and longing revolve around a silent question: perhaps that which is crucial is really nearby?
Ilgės was recorded in 2015-2018 using acoustic instruments (accordion, Lithuanian zither, guitar) as primary sound sources, with their imperfect creaks and resonant echoes intended to make the vast sonic horizons sound close.
The album is released in an edition of 100 copies, out of which 25 are an exclusive release with a silver print. The cassettes are wrapped in handmade packaging made from fading recycled paper. Each copy comes with a digital download code.
Still, what lay behind the hundred twenty fifth door?
