*200 copies limited edition* After having painted her own mythology out of antique myths and literature, Golem Mecanique began to work on biblical features. The vehicle is minimalist. The challenge, to go further with the instrument and the voice. For this album, Golem’s work focused in on a sound that enabled the abstract concept of Abel and Cain to become concrete, yet still built out of nothingness. Abel/Kane was composed as two acts of a march into a never-ending valley. Drone, voices, echoes, and whispers. Time gets stretched. Harmonies of the instrument are becoming the ancient land of sand and sad trees. The plot is known. We know the end, but we want to see what kind of light could emerge from this loneliness. Frequencies are the choir of this vision. The songstress is Pythia. Or maybe Cassandra, and no one wants to hear the Truth she reveals.
