Jul 1, 2013With prevalent lyrical themes of death and loss, Ceremony is not music for those seeking sunny summer escapism. Yet when compared to UK gothic revivalists such as Esben And The Witch, it’s an album of striking confidence, immense compositional flair and colossal, richly cinematic arrangements.
-
Jul 8, 2013It is attractive not only for its unusual, sophisticated musical presentation and smart, poetic lyricism, but for its canny instinct as well.
-
MojoJul 10, 2013With her soaring, passionate voice the wail of a spectre, she's the incubus Kate Bush. [Aug 2013, p.88]
-
Jul 30, 2013Ceremony, the second record from Anna von Hausswolff, buffets us with a cold, yawning beauty.
-
Jul 1, 2013Ceremony is not going to be to everyone’s taste, but this doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a stunning piece of work, which--with the time and attention it deserves--proves to be a thoroughly rewarding listen.
-
UncutJul 1, 2013Ceremony feels appealingly gigantic. [Jul 2013, p.83]
-
Jul 1, 2013The record is awkward and seriously pretentious at times, but you can’t miss the heat of its ambition.
