Terra Relicta web magazine has teamed up with the prolific eclectic avant-garde artist Duncan Evans (ex-A Forest Of Stars, WaxWorm, Moonlow) for the exclusive premiere of his new single "Mouse Mask". The track is taken from the upcoming split album of Duncan Evans and Wilderness Hymnal titled Until Liars Fear You, which will hit the stores via Trepanation Recordings on the 5th of November.
Stolen fire, flickering stars, dark water in the well. We long to escape the simmering pall of uncertainty. To let go of how the past has marked us and to avoid freezing, deer-like, at our fear of what might come next. Until Liars Fear You is a split album that is highly recommended to fans of Emma Ruth Rundle, Ulver, Chelsea Wolfe, Dead Can Dance, Talk Talk, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Low, Current 93, Gary Numan and Leonard Cohen.
Duncan Evans creates somehow unique dark folk/post-punk melancholic music that has been sometimes compared to the work of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Wovenhand and Leonard Cohen. A former member of black metal band A Forest Of Stars, he has released two critically acclaimed albums as a solo artist. Duncan Evans has performed across the UK and Europe, including at shows with Empyrium and Dornenreich and as a guest with Crowhurst.
About the track "Mouse Mask", which you can listen below, Duncan comments: "I have to thank my friend Ben Hopwood for the inspiration behind "Mouse Mask". He challenged me to write something loosely based on some of the musical and lyrical themes of the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice", which, like many such songs, is much darker and more sinister than its jolly exterior might suggest. The lyrics tell a story about a man who has become embroiled in something pretty horrible and is metaphorically wearing a mask to separate himself from the reality of his situation. His dreams are dead, but he also experiences freedom and relief in accepting that nothing really matters anymore. Musically, The song fuses folk-inspired melodies with dark synthesizer soundscapes. Big thanks to Terra Relicta for premiering the track, and to you for listening!"
"Mouse Mask", one of the moodiest, bleak and most melancholic dark folk songs on the album enthuses with captivating yet haunting minimalistic broody atmosphere with a slight touch of Americana, and with emotional and mesmerizing vocal performance by Duncan. So now get comfortable and give a listen to this dark rendition by Duncan Evans.
