Faith And The Muse
Vera Causa (turquoise/black Marbled)
New Mastering by George Emmanuel (Pentagram Studio). New Lay-out by Monica Richards First time on vinyl The "Vera Causa" collection by Faith and the Muse, released in 2001, feels like a mystical chronicle. It is as if one were opening an old, dark-bound book whose pages whisper fragments from the shadowed realms of gothic and darkwave music. The compositions unfold like nocturnal landscapes: melancholic melodies, ritualistic rhythms, and voices that seem to rise from some forgotten temple. Monica Richards weaves her vocals with an almost sacred intensity, while William Faith's music acts as an architecture of shadow and light, building atmospheres that drift somewhere between dream and memory. "Vera Causa" is a mirror reflecting an entire era of the dark roots of Faith and the Muse. The songs seem to carry the dust of old theatres, the echo of distant bells ringing through mist-covered cities, and the quiet breath of forests where time moves more slowly. Listening to it, the listener return to an aesthetic, to an atmosphere, to a world where poetry and dark romanticism intertwine. It is a world in which music does not illuminate the night, it deepens it, allowing its mystery and beauty to grow even more profound.
