As Mirabilis, these women go beyond the rock-hued sounds of their respective bands (This Ascension\/Mercury\u2019s Antennae and the Machine in the Garden) to create beautiful, vocal-centered originals alongside reinterpreted pieces ranging from medieval to pop.<\/p>\n<p>As on their previous Projekt releases, 2004\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/pro00206\">Pleiades<\/a><\/strong> and 2008\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/pro00207\/\">Sub Rosa<\/a><\/strong>, Allen and Bowman weave their signature heavenly voices into a lush bed of dream-like harmonies amidst understated electronics, acoustic instruments, and majestic percussive elements. Their most diverse work to date, <strong>Here and the Hereafter<\/strong> transcends genres from cinematic, orchestral pieces to traditional folk and chant to spoken word. Accompanied by instruments including hammered dulcimer and recorder, these 16 tracks &#8212; with roots as diverse as Bulgaria, India and Japan &#8212; span ages and cultures, reality and dream.<\/p>\n<p>By design Mirabilis has always sought to invite other like-minded creators to contribute to albums and performances. The new album marks the band\u2019s first composition with long-time inspiration Monica Richards (Faith and the Muse), who writes and sings on the piece &#8220;Here and Hereafter&#8221; and introduces neoclassical\/baroque vocalist and harpsichordist Lacy Rose at the helm for \u201cCan She Excuse My Wrongs.\u201d Mirabilis also renews its collaboration with Pete Murray (Lo-Pro, Life on Planet 9), who contributes programming on a number of tracks as well as mixes the album. Two remixes conclude <strong>Here and the Hereafter<\/strong>: the first a sparkling rendition of \u201cSanctuary of Mind\u201d courtesy of Justin Elswick (Sleepthief), the other by Bowman, which adds a steady beat to the haunting and originally sparse \u201cPermafrost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The words \u201chere and the hereafter\u201d suggest that presence which resides in us now and our enduring and profound connection to the creative force of life. <strong>Here and the Hereafter<\/strong> embodies the search inward of one\u2019s own spirit and outward into the unknown. <\/p>\n<p>Though brimming with musical styles and instrumentations, ultimately it is the exquisite interplay between the two vocalists that serves as the driving force on <strong>Here and the Hereafter<\/strong>. The vocals serve not just as conveyer of lyrics but also as a distinct instrument unto itself. This is a spellbinding, affirming work that transports the listener on a sweeping, emotional journey.<\/p>\n<h3>Reviews of their past work:<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s records like this which remind you where the term Heavenly Voices comes from.&#8221; <em>&#8211; Mick Mercer<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mirabilis has produced an ethereal recording, untethered by contemporary beats, unmarked by time. <strong>Pleiades<\/strong> is historically pungent and spiritually potent, and takes the listener both backward and forward through the ages.&#8221; <em>&#8211; The Santa Barbara Independent<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both powerful and seductive, the duo are the nearest we have to sirens in this age. But you really couldn\u2019t hope for a finer soundtrack to sinking slowly beneath the waves.&#8221; <em>\u2013 Liar Society<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From beginning to end the music is haunting and captivating as they spin their web of subtle synths, old-world instruments and lush vocals.&#8221; <em>\u2013 Gothic Paradise<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their music brings together both the dreampop and neomedieval sounds the Projekt label is known for, to impressive effect. Lots of very beautiful material here, from a band I\u2019m keen to hear more from.&#8221; <em>\u2013 Bliss Aquamarine<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Released: August 29 2014\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 style=\"color:red;\">This item is out of print, and here for historical reasons.<\/h3><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/here-and-the-hereafter\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5968,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,25,101,30,98,464,99],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5967","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-dreampop","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-mirabilis-artists","product_cat-neo-classical","pa_artist-mirabilis","pa_format-cd-in-4-panel-ecowallet-with-8-page-lyric-poster","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-273","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-external","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5967","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=5967"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5967"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5967"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
