Dronny Darko & Ugasanie - Arctic Gates (2019)

Ugasanie's cold drones meets Dronny Darko's meticulous sound design on this dark and brooding arctic album.

Two weeks you've been scouring the arctic sea. No sun since you reached the north, the dark water a constant fractured mirror that meets the universe above and pulls you into its black fold. Everything points to "it" resting beneath the ice, in a slumber of centuries.

Three weeks, now on land, you're getting close. Down here beneath the ice you feel disconnected from the world, like you are leaving the present as you spelunk into the past. You snap another glow stick and throw it down the ice shaft, the light strobes off crystalline walls as it reveals an ancient structure below. The Arctic Gates.

For lovers of cold atmospheres and a feeling of isolation.
