The Moon Is a Dry Bone

Corde Oblique

Mediterranean chamber folk where intricate classical guitar meets ghostly female vocals. A shimmering, reverb-heavy exploration of Neapolitan history and shadow.

A shimmering, nocturnal melancholy that feels both historically grounded and ethereally detached.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the delicate nylon-string intro to the soaring, reverb-drenched vocal swell in the title track.
The haunting violin melody in 'Herculaneum' that feels like it's echoing through an excavated city.
The way the two parts of 'Almost Blue' bookend the record with a sense of unresolved, cyclical longing.
