On his now 10th full length album, Johan Levin offers us a slow, soaring meditation on mortality and the great uncertainties of life. The complete certainty of death, and how we cope with that knowledge is what constitues the essence of this new opus. “Departed” retains the sacral expression of its predecessor “Vita Arkivet”, but not within the oppressive confinement of old stone vaults, but high across a raging seas, rocky shores and darkened skies. Music for gazing at the endless ocean of infinity, trying to catch a glimpse of meaning through the tiny rips in the fabric of existence; its magic and loss. CD and Digital versions contain 3 bonus tracks.

I love doom jazz, noir, and Atrium Carceri.
The three together with Cities Last Broadcast AND God Body Disconnect is WOW.
And A Thousand Empty Rooms is, or I hope is, the soundtrack of my soul. control_001
