Ecdysis

by Zanias

supported by

Matt Randell The strongest release yet. The return of ethereal backing vocals are truly welcome. This is a trip into a lot of feelings. Favorite track: Ecdysis.

kommando Relaxing goose bump inducing aural pleasure

suzygen From the opening track, I am lead through a journey that connects to my heart and my gut. An album with no “songs”, so to speak, is a gamble but this one has paid off. It is really hard to put words to just how special Ecdysis is. I honestly think it will hold up for the decades to come. Favorite track: Earthborn.

sb73 Ein sehr gelungenes Album ........
Favorite track: Habenula.

gargoyle She paints with tones.. the result is a beautiful soundscape. I wish that this "moulting" let her come to terms with the shit of her world ! Favorite track: Bloodwood.

about

In the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Chrysalis’, Zanias returns with ‘Ecdysis’, which travels even further into alternate dimensions, casting off all language and song structures in favour of something far more alien and sensual. Named after the final stage of emergence from a former self, ‘Ecdysis’ lays claim to an entirely new electronic soundscape influenced by the ethereal pioneering of Dead Can Dance, Enya and Fever Ray. Zanias’s voice morphs deftly between species and gender, exemplifying the oneness of conscious experience evoked by the more extreme psychedelic states, while the atmosphere is headily influenced by the Queensland rainforest where much of the recording took place, conjuring an environment rich with biodiversity. The creation of the album itself became a deeply healing process for its producer, and it is designed to function the same way for its listeners. Best enjoyed on headphones in total darkness.

Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much. Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work. Sentient Helicopters
