Eleusis is Larks Tongues first recording for Consouling Sounds and it is a complex tapestry of melodic grandeur and imperial distortion- commingling the sonic loom with stately lyricism and deeply impassioned vocal performances. The result is an album that speaks to truths both hidden and overt. The songs are at once tribal and personal. There is an enigmatic pull contained in these songs that upon surrender delivers a familiar sense of time and place that is just left of center yet all its own. This Eleusis is subtle without being inscrutable, and, with the right attention, its charms reveal themselves- richly rewarding bold travelers with songs of yearning and questioning, survival and grief- all returning to the altar of earth as they must- to the natural laws that bind our existence together as we push our way through this life and onward to whatever pantheon awaits. For fans of Alice in Chains, Swervedriver, Tool, The Catherine Wheel.
