ORDER TEARS022: BODYXVIII - CLOSER

Closing the year with TEARS022: BODYXVIII - Closer. Limited edition vinyl, cassettes and digital are available on Amulet of Tears Bandcamp. The release is also available on all major streaming platforms.

The breath of ages

Within the collapsed walls

Traces, through the eras
Ancient stones & torns

The ruins of history
Stoneless, Folded

Unyielding marbles
Past firmly - time has molded

The air is laden with a strange stillness, a nearly faceless monolith folded inward. Polished silkenly and marbled by tireless winds. The faintest of whispers, carried through the ages - a fierce gale, leaving only the bones of walls and pebbles, ceased to exist.

BODYXVIII is a Melburnian musician and audio collagist, immersing into blend drones and textures, enfolding darkened soundscapes, droning dynamism & subdued emphasis, harmonizing the density of throbbing hum and submerging soundwaves - coalescing with the vast.

AMULET 054: BODYXVIII

ORDER 'BEFORE WE MELT INTO THE SEA'

Roadmaps on the palms
Braided, fold over
Where the shore meets the ebbing sea
Forever touching, forever adrift

Whispers of the history fade
Where the sea drapes waning waves
Only to retrace echoing trails
Abiding in ceaseless rims

Rooted in the fertile soil of hauntology, Amulet of Tears presents: 'Before We Melt into the Sea' - chimerical shreds of memoir.
 Foraying intervals coiled in visceral resonance, which appear as abyssal, ancestral echoes of elusive moments, where the past unfolds in attendance, like a vapor that forbids to fade.

Phantoms colliding to forge ahead for what’s to come or to drag us back into the shades of what we once were - enshadowed by imprints of past, present, and future, overlapped upon one another.

'BEFORE WE MELT INTO THE SEA' PREMIERES

NEW RADIO SHOW EPISODE

The newest Amulet of Tears radio show episode on Radio Vilnius is up for replay, featuring the premiere of a forthcoming Skisserna track on Noir Age and a wonderful selection by lovely guests - Cool Air.

NEW RELEASE OUT NOW

Amulet of Tears is proud to present TEARS020, a new album by Jonas Raudonius - 'Imaginary Freedom'.

Across centuries, long gone by
Veils of soul, that may rise
Fables untold, of grandeur
Chessboard ‘neath, whereabouts

Ancient plea of foals & moulds
Traces retching, yet to hold
Knights - lore - forever year
Endless span in empty bam.

Self-absorbed shadows stretch in their peeled skin,
wrapped in the habitude of shred chains. Elusive crate in the constant shelling for intrinsic freedom, whilst devouring figures blind a grander field in the stir - Inertia, where compulsion dispels its thorny strands - A lone roar in a fenceless herd.

Jonas Raudonius is Lithuania based electronic music composer and Black Wave events and podcasts series curator. The immensely cinematic sound of 'Imaginary Freedom', developed from creating soundtracks for various theatre performances and movies, syncs together the lines between Moog Modular System, live instruments, field recordings - coalescing together organic and electronic frequencies.

AMULET #50: INTERNAZIONALE!

Bringing forth the long-awaited Internazionale with its unwavering nature of caressing amidst delicate nostalgia & serene hues of reminiscence. Originating from Denmark, Mikkel Valentin Dunkerley evokes eloquent canvas of 'yesteryears' with collaborations across Posh Isolation and Janushoved.

Not remembering, but replaying it all - hushed undertones of 
drab sunrise turning into dazzling dawns. Passing breeze comes alive anew - let is sing along, as the echoes of relics resound - where the world seems to wind down.

NEW RADIO SHOW EPISODE WITH MANY PREMIERES

The latest Amulet of Tears radio show episode on Radio Vilnius has been added to SoundCloud. The show features Jonas Raudonius and we present his forthcoming album. Also, you can find a few hidden premieres!

AMULET 049: CEMENTATION ANXIETY

New Jersey-based musician Kyle Nelson orchestrated a three-hour setlist through reverberant surround and evocative soundscapes under his alias - Cementation Anxiety

.

Enveloped by interwoven vibrant pulsation & environmental essence - threads connecting in vicinity and deep within, between mere happenstance and inherent surrounds where pristine fragments weave its own 'ensemble'.

TEARS019: PATINA LUSH IS OUT NOW

TEARS019 - 'Patina Lush - To Be Kept in the Body Eternal' is out now and streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify & SoundCloud.

Each touch is a ballad in nocturnal parade, rays in slumber, yet the moonbeam in breast is still awake - whispered pledge enchained with insatiable thirst. Ecstatic symphony, where caress seems to echo in the passage of elysian heath.

'To Be Kept in the Body Eternal' enchants with pulse in elegance dance of eternal, bittersweet passion. Everlasting sonata venturing into woven figures of tender phantoms.
