No More Happy Songs! The long awaited and anticipated 5th album from Denmark's Neofolk institution OF THE WAND & THE MOON!!! Again Kim Larsen takes another road than the previous albums. 60's influenced, where the love for Lee Hazlewood and Serge Gainsbourg shines through. Still keeping the dark neofolk roots though, "The Lone Descent" is without doubt the most bleak and melancholic album from Of The Wand & The Moon, and clearly shows Larsen's brilliant talent as a singer/songwriter.
Also the new album features again an impressive list of collaborators/guest appearances, including: John Murphy (Death In June, Knifeladder, Nico, SPK), John van der Lieth (Sonne Hagal), Anne Eltard (known for various Danish acts and Kim Larsens Solanaceae project), Lorenzo Woodrose from Danish psychedelic rock act 'Baby Woodrose', Aron from Danish Psych/folk rock act 'Aron', Danish Cellist Soma Allpass (Mew, Martin Hall, etc.), Trumpet player Bo Rande (The William Blakes, Mew, Blue Foundation), and :Of The Wand & The Moon: engineer Louise Nipper 'Alouise'.
