The Necrophone Sessions
Roman Numeral Records issued the follow statement regarding the album:
“Roman Numeral Records are thrilled to announce the release of The Necrophone Sessions, the third collaborative release from Switzerland’s Hemlock Smith and les Poissons Autistes. While the former is mainly known for his dark folk tendencies as the latter duo are for their experimental approach to ambient, drone, and noise, together the trio unites all of these tonal aesthetics to what can only be characterised as a vivacious and exhilarating, boundary-shattering blend of dark and haunting music for the educated mind. While the frames of neofolk apply to The Necrophone Sessions throughout, you’ll find a plethora of vastly different but seamlessly amalgamating orientations from within its confines, together creating a narrative epic striding beyond its peers.”
