Evening Hymns
Spectral Dust
Hymns for the evening: the band's second album about Jonas Bonetta Jonas Bonetta doesn't just make music. The man from Toronto, Canada is always looking for the subtext and the meta-levels in songs that he can inject with emotions. Sounds complicated? No, sounds just fine! With "Spectral Dusk", the second album of his loose collective Evening Hymns, he's found the most intense theme that a musician can deal with - the tragedy of life: the death of his own father. "Spectral Dusk" begins with subtle white noise and after two minutes meditative, introspective music sets in, sucking you into a minimalist sound wall which does not let one loose. The chords drop like dew dripping from a leaf, the rhythm is like a heartbeat and suddenly a breadth and intensity establishes itself that hardly leaves room to breathe. This album was recorded in the middle of the snowy woods of Ontario, accompanied by members of bands such as The Wooden Sky, Timber Timbre, City & Colour and others.
