Grails – Miracle Man [LP – Forest Night] Order Now

Description

Release Date: 5/16/2025Label: Temporary ResidenceGrails – the experimental rock institution who have cultivated a quarter-century career out of crate-plunging cultural curiosities – returns a mere two years after the lauded Anches en Maat with their most personal and emotionally resonant album to date. While the band still revel in rearranging bizarre and obscure sources into something often revelatory and surreal, Miracle Music does so with an ascendant melodic power that feels hallowed.The Miracle Music lineup includes cofounders Emil Amos (Om, Holy Sons, Lilacs u0026amp; Champagne) and Alex Hall (Lilacs u0026amp; Champagne), alongside returning members, AE Paterra (Zombi, Majeure), Jesse Bates, and Ilyas Ahmed. Produced by Amos, Miracle Music reunites the group with recording engineer Jason Powers and his Type Foundry studio in Portland, Oregon, where the earliest Grails records were made more than two decades ago. Replete with acoustic and electric guitars, synths, woodwinds, brass, samples, percussion – and featuring horn arrangements by Kelly Pratt (David Byrne, M. Ward) – Miracle Music unveils an exquisite new horizon for Grails. Creatively tireless as ever, Grails balance the boundary-pushing claustrophobia of early Industrial music with the airy melodies of Classical compositions to craft the heavy mood that is Miracle Music. In a catalog defined by mercurial departures, this is Grails’ most sentimental and high-minded trip yet.Tracklist:1 Silver Bells2 Primeval Lite I-III3 Earthly Life4 Homemade Crucifix5 Harmonious Living6 Strange Paradise7 Perfect Etercuss8 Visible Darkness9 Choir Commencement
