The Sacred Mound

by Borg

supported by

HALP onwards to distant lands... Favorite track: Catch the Wind.

Kaptain Carbon This 2020 release is one of many in the artist's repertoire that takes the majesty of folk music and transforms it into a woodland pageant urging its listeners to dance until the trees come alive. With as much dirt as shine, The Sacred Mound is an embrace of the ugly and the divine, which showcases both the seren calm of dungeon synth as well as the tangled brambles of music that lays out in the hinterlands. I never thought medieval influenced music could sound so dangerous and unpredictable Favorite track: The Ancient Yew tree.

Destructa This looks like frogman territory. Y'all, I did NOT agree to tangle with any frogs.
Borg returns with their best yet, a breath of fresh air in the neofolk realm...should you make it out of the swamp and tomb, that is. Favorite track: Catch the Wind.

Dave Aftandilian One of the things I like best about this project is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and isn’t afraid to go to some goofy lengths. I also love its deceptive simplicity, which immediately clears my head of the workday and ushers me down sun-filled walks in the greenwood.

Evergreen Borg does it again! This project is so unfathomably unique. And this album is phenomenal.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
