Description
“A trance-inducing shamanistic ritual, meant to bring you closer to both one’s ancestors and the universe”. – The Joy of Violent Movement “Participation Mystique” is the fourth studio album from Portland, Oregon art rock duo, Lore City. The band combines elements of psychedelic rock, post-rock, dark wave, and dream pop into a luscious and evocative sound. To these ears, they reside somewhere on an astral level adjacent to what a collaboration between the Sisters of Mercy and Dead Can Dance would sound like.
One could easily describe their new single, ‘I Know You Know,’ as a cerebral elegy cascading with surrender… and ‘I Know You Know’ as a tribal drumbeat awash in a turbulent sea… a phantom ship crying out across swirling seas.” Or you could join POST-PUNK in commending Lore City for their spiritual exploration of sound — “their own unique dive into the Akashic records of the collective conscious.” Important music. You might well kick yourself a couple of years from now for not paying attention sooner… or could of course save yourself the pain and dive in to Lore City’s music now.
