This April, Midas Fall, the Scottish duo comprised of Elizabeth Heaton and Rowan Burn — will release their fourth studio offering, Evaporate.
A visceral display of ferocious beauty straight from the desperate, savage cacophony of album opener Bruise Pusher to the heavenly crush of final track Howling At The Clouds, Evaporate conjures stunning soundscapes at every turn. Captured in Argyll, Scotland, the album shimmers with a dark, gothic grace, delicate, and brutal in equal measure.
As a precursor to its release, the ethereal post-rock outfit have shared the poignant sounds of Soveraine for public feasting.
‘Writing ‘Soveraine’ was like entering new territory for us and a big deviation from our last album,” notes Heaton of the weighty track. ‘It was born from an improvisation with just cello and vocals but turned into the type of song we had wanted to write for a long time. We wanted to show restraint with the guitars and drums and instead layer in instruments to culminate in a subtle but powerful and atmospheric ending. The song centers around the theme of resentment and trying and failing to let go.’
