Half Dream, Half Epiphany - 2017 Danish Target label 10-track LP

2015 Target label 9-track LP - for those who have not experienced the band, Kloster is essentially a musical workshop which pivotal point is Mikael R Andreasen... lyrically christian spiritualism - musically pastoral folk... a dark and sombre folk nerve which - this time around - has a more pronounced rockleaning... maybe a very slight nod towards singer/songwriter folk excentricism...

The workshop features some of the most distinct and exciting musicians of the underbelly of the Danish music scene - longtime collaborators: American folksinger, reed organist, and guitarist Sarah Hepburn, norwegian siger Solrun Stig, drummer Ruben Riisager, flutenist Rakel Maria Rahbæk... Newcomers: Jakob Brixen from Hymns Of Nineveh, Manuskript, Mechanical Birds,
Causa Sui's Jakob Skøtt and Jonas Munk... then you have the dark electro-lord - Hansen under his Slagskygge moniker, Magnus Maimonide aka Elektronavn... Manoj Ramdas from Spektr and The Good, The Bad... and Mikkel Elzer of Mouths of the Irrawaddy, Shiggajon, Space Continents, Tarhumans... in every way exiting and very ambitious stuff.
