EÔS - "Dawn of the Fall"
EÔS — goddess of the dawn in Greek mythology — is a name that fits like a glove for this duo, who reveal themselves through a debut album made up of eight delicate compositions (three with vocals and five acoustic).
Firmly rooted in Dark Folk and a post-Romantic expression, the compositions nevertheless exude fragrances reminiscent of the Neo-folk / Black Metal band Agalloch, while the exalted vocals at times evoke David Tibet.
Bathed in a bittersweet softness, nature is portrayed as a vessel for human melancholy and forgotten truths. The fleeting condition of our existence blends with the autumnal and forested landscape.
These introspective and evocative pieces sketch a poetic ideal in which Beauty, in all its mystery, becomes an ideal to be pursued: EÔS is a kind of soundtrack to the poetry of John Keats.
A truly beautiful invitation to contemplation, to solitude as a source of renewal, and to stepping aside from the well-trodden path followed by the masses.
