SECOND MOON OF WINTER is a new experimental ensemble from Ireland melting gloomy, discordant ambiences with luminous soprano. This is their first installment, a six track album called "One for Sorrow. Their fragmented melodies meet, form and fluctuate in a wave of musical metamorphosis. They strive to sit apart and yet within their soundscapes - melting and moving forward with the momentum of a creeping frost under the waning of the second moon. Second Moon Of Winter is to be silent, to listen and finally to create a picture out of that listening. It is a meshing together of sounds that touch and clash in their different atmospheres yet bathe together in a tense harmonic understanding. "One for Sorrow, Two for Joy" is a truly fascinating and deeply persuasive listen for enthusiasts of avant-garde, ambient, dark free jazz and contemporary classical music. Recommend if you like the dark jazz institutions Bohren & der Club Of Gore and The Dale Cooper Quartet or the fuzzy feelings of David Lynch movies"
