Faith And The Muse - Elyria

Facts A reissue from the legendary darkwave group with members from Strange Boutique, Shadow Project and Christian Death. The album laid the foundation for a career in which Richards and Faith consistently avoided simple genre categories and instead wove influences from folk, ambient, industrial, classical, world and experimental music into their work. After Elyria came Annwyn, Beneath the Waves (1996), Evidence of Heaven (1999), Vera Causa (2001), The Burning Season (2003) and Ankoku Butoh (2009), alongside extensive touring in the USA and Europe. More than three decades after its original release, Elyria remains the natural starting point for Faith and the Muse's distinctive blend of Gothic intensity, ethereal beauty, folk tradition and theatrical expression, now presented in a newly remastered version.
