Salaam alaikum travellers,
The new Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses album entitled "PERILS" is out now on Web of Mimicry Records.
"Boasting members of Guapo, Alabama 3 and Amal Gamal Ensemble, Miasma
& tcohh have joined the ranks of Web of Mimicry (home to Secret
Chiefs 3, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, etc) to bring their own unique
brand of apocalyptic chamber rock to the table.
Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses are, to say the very
least, a striking sounding ensemble. On the Perils recordings, with
their harmoniums, autoharps, violins, violas, pianos, organs and
glockenspiels added to a top of the line rhythm section, the band very
deliberately adheres to a Faustian melodrama of the angelic. Their
dark, harrowing visions of some dense hellish musico-psychological
dystopia shapeshift frequently before your eyes (ears), and become a
very capable and Elizabethan sounding prog-baroque meteorite at the
drop of a hat. Armed with these anachronistic tendencies the Miasmic
vision never deviates, deriving its vocabulary exclusively from
alchemically lined volumes in their arcane library of musical ideas.
It's instrumental music that would perhaps find a happy home in a
Jan Svankmajer or Fritz Lang film, and will find a prominent place on
the shelf of any connoisseur of occultist highbrow, right next to
his/her John Dee volumes."

Are you from the Web of Mimicry boards? Because if you are, you
probably already know me. Oh yeah, I really like that album
too. I hope they come to America at some point.
