Includes insert."Soft Black Stars" is a haunting and poetic album by the influential British experimental group Current 93, released as a Vinyl Maxi edition by The Spheres. This record stands out for its minimalist piano arrangements, intimate vocals, and deeply introspective lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and existential longing. The soundscape is delicate yet powerful?David Tibet?s evocative voice paired with sparse instrumentation creates an atmosphere both melancholic and transcendent. As one of Current 93's most celebrated works since its original release in 1998, "Soft Black Stars" has garnered critical acclaim for its emotional depth and artistic innovation.
Current 93, led by visionary artist David Tibet since the early 1980s, has been at the forefront of neofolk and experimental music. Known for their mystical lyricism and genre-defying compositions blending folk, industrial sounds, spoken word poetry, and apocalyptic themes, they have collaborated with artists like Nick Cave and Antony Hegarty (Anohni). Their discography includes acclaimed albums such as "Thunder Perfect Mind," "All the Pretty Little Horses," and "Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain."
The Spheres is an independent label renowned for releasing avant-garde music projects that push creative boundaries. Founded to support unique voices in contemporary music culture?including many releases from Current 93?the label emphasizes high-quality vinyl pressings with distinctive artwork. |
