To quote Aeschylus (whose words appear in the first song), <strong>Orchids Grew Here<\/strong> is tantamount to an exploration into \u201cthe awful grace of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>The twelve illuminated sound-paintings are both enchanted and enchanting \u2014 they venture into a future of non-existence from a garden of withered orchids to interstellar black holes. The band\u2019s eleventh Projekt Records album is alive with delicate instrumentation sown with poetic narratives of philosophical and romantic musing.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The synergy of core members Michael Laird, Bret Helm, and Ericah Hagle is expressed in soft, at times haunting vocals, wandering through panoramas of passion, darkness, and introspection. Lead vocalist Laird has a soft, redolent voice conjuring the spirit of Nick Drake. Helm&#8217;s distinctive voice is reminiscent of Peter Murphy, and Hagle&#8217;s complex, ethereal harmonies appear prominently as soloist on &#8220;Starfish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>Unto Ashes was founded in 1997 by multi-instrumentalist Laird. Through his work as an antiquarian bibliographer, he discovered many obscure texts that continue to inspire his music. This album offers passages from Aeschylus, the founder of tragedy (Greece, 525 BCE &#8211; 465 BCE), Christina Rossetti (England, 1830-1894), Edwin Arnold (England, 1832-1904), Ethel Clifford (England, 1876-1959) and Anna Akhmatova (Russia, 1889-1966).<\/p>\n<p><BR>A less obscure text is found on the indelible cover of Madonna&#8217;s &#8220;Frozen&#8221; reimagined with waves of acoustic guitar, fervent vocals from Helm, and an Arabic-sounding cello duet.<\/p>\n<p><BR>With uncanny alchemy of instrumentation ranging from the medieval (hurdy-gurdy, viola da gamba, dulcimers) to the modern (analog synthesizers, tape loops, etc.) and bewitching vocals, Unto Ashes delivers mystery, elegance, melancholy, and \u2014 ultimately \u2014 triumph. <\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: August 11 2023<\/h3>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00396%2F&t=Unto+Ashes%3A+Orchids+Grew+Here+%28CD+%2F+Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00396%2F&text=Unto+Ashes%3A+Orchids+Grew+Here+%28CD+%2F+Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00396%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00396.jpg&description=++%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00396%2F&title=Unto+Ashes%3A+Orchids+Grew+Here+%28CD+%2F+Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/orchid TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[30,98,47,99,569],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-27370","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-neo-folk","product_cat-neo-classical","product_cat-unto-ashes","pa_artist-unto-ashes","pa_format-cd-in-4-panel-digipak","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-924","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/27370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27370"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=27370"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=27370"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=27370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
