O Paradis – “Serpiente De Luna, Serpiente De Sol” – [Aorta]

O Paradis is Demian Recio of Barcelona. Serpiente de Luna, Serpiente de Sol gives us a dark, romantic, melancholic, poetic, experimental folk album with Spanish vocals. Each song reminds me of a scene in a massive, very well produced theatrical performance with some industrial, steampunkish accents. Clinks and clanks, bells and whistles, powerful drumming, soothing keyboard, organ, xylophone, horns and more all provide the loops of sounds to this project. Nietzsche text featured in “Llama”. This album is a beauty to listen to.
