The Northern Lighthouse Board

The Spirit Cabinet

(Reverb Worship, RW 438)

"Here we have the new album from the Northern Lighthouse Board. "The Spirit Cabinet" is another superb adventure into creepydom, and a very worthy follow up to the long sold out self titled debut cd. The NLB perfectly capture the kind of gothic horror movie stylee of haunted houses, supernatural occurrences and creepy atmospherics," (Roger Linney, Reverb Worship)

"Like its predecessor, this is another fine collection of creepy, sepia-tinged, unsettling soundscapes, many of which are only a few minutes long but use their short time with us to make quite an impact. Images are conjured of happening upon an old abandoned manor house at dusk, the building hidden behind rusted gates and withered ivy, its inhabitants long since departed, at least in the physical sense. Perfectly described as music for Victorian seances, the album lurks unseen in the shadows, showing glimpses of another world beyond this.

Each track entices you to delve further and explore the building in more detail – ‘The Wych Elm’, welcoming you in with a sense of unease and foreboding. The dread increases over the album, with the genuinely disquieting ‘The Green Children of Woolpit’, long-droning synthesizers casting an eerie gloom over the track. ‘Rosa Alchemica’ is off-kilter and eerily chiming, like opening a dusty old music box with both excitement and trepidation rising at what horrors may lie behind the music. The title track has a quickly ticking clock over the Victoriana-sounding synths, reminding us that, like the old occupiers of the house, time is of the essence. Creaking floorboards, haunting birdsong, faint screams of terror haunt the listener across various tracks, deepening the overall apprehension and drawing them deeper and deeper into a world of spirits, shadows and spectres.

The Northern Lighthouse Board are authentically unique and The Spirit Cabinet is a perfect listen on a still, dark night; so lock the doors, light some candles, pour a glass of your favourite tipple and settle down for a legitimately unnerving, but mesmerising experience," (Astral Noize, U.K)

An Alchemical Gathering

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Spirit Cabinet”

I am increasingly drawn to records that feature more than one artist or more than one musician direction. Whilst it might seem that Plater and EASO might have entirely different approaches, the glistening darkness in both of their musics makes for a compelling combination, and works effectively ina cyclical manner, with the final track working equally well as the opener, the A side setting a tone for the B side, or vice versa. An engrossing and provoking listen. nujumi
