 | | Description: | Red Goddess by Hawthonn, released 23 March 2018, includes the following tracks: "Lady of the Flood", "Dream Fugue" and more.
This version of Red Goddess comes as a 1xCD. - 2018 release. The music of Hawthonn is dense and atmospheric, but not inaccessible. Experimental electronic techniques fuse with doom-laden organ riffs, crystalline piano, elemental drones and haunting vocals. Largely guided by their own unconscious muse, the band's chief inspirations lie outside of music, in Romantic poetry, dreams and reveries, esoteric symbolism, the history of magic and witchcraft, folklore and the English landscape. Hawthonn is Leeds-based duo Layla Legard and Phil Legard. Having previously collaborated in music, as well as text and photography, they officially formed in 2014 to deepen their uniquely imaginative approach to music-making. Often developing from obsessive explorations of a particular theme, their work precipitates dreams and imaginative journeys, which inform the direction of their music. Their earliest music explored the afterlife mythos of Coil's Jhonn Balance through the image of the Hawthorn tree and Cumbrian landscape where his ashes were scattered. Their approach draws lyricism from the psychoacoustic phenomena of "phantom words"-sonic textures translated from geographical space into droning sound spectra, and verbalized dream imagery. The prime symbol of Red Goddess (Of This Men Shall Know Nothing), is mugwort. An herb associated with dreaming, travel and menstruation, mugwort particularly favors edgelands: those abandoned, untended places, part man-made, part rural, where nature begins to reclaim what humanity has left behind. The music here unfolds a mandala of symbolism from these liminal spaces, drawn from a web of fascinations which unfolded during the recording process.CD pressing, in gatefold Stoughton LP-style tip on jacket, limited to 500, according to Ba Da Bing! website and sticker on shrinkwrap."Red Goddess" is a captivating CD release by Hawthonn, issued by the independent label Ba Da Bing. Rooted in atmospheric, experimental soundscapes, the album unfolds like a ritual: slowly evolving drones, shimmering textures and intimate vocal passages merge into a hypnotic journey that feels both ancient and futuristic. Instead of conventional song structures, "Red Goddess" works with mood, space and repetition, inviting the listener to sink into a world of spectral folk, ambient and subtly psychedelic elements. The recording rewards attentive listening with layers of detail - from delicate field-recording fragments to gently distorted harmonies that seem to rise like mist from a hidden landscape. This is a work for listeners who appreciate immersive albums that function almost like a single, continuous vision rather than a collection of discrete tracks.
Hawthonn is known for weaving folklore, esoteric themes and a strong sense of place into their music, blurring the lines between drone, experimental folk and ambient composition. Their work has found recognition in adventurous music circles for its distinctive blend of the mystical and the deeply personal, often praised for its ability to create powerful atmospheres with sparse but carefully chosen means. With releases like "Red Goddess", Hawthonn have established themselves as a notable name in the realm of exploratory, mood-driven sound art, reaching listeners who seek emotional depth beyond mainstream genres.
The CD format underlines the album's character as a cohesive, carefully sequenced experience. The physical edition is aimed at collectors and listeners who value an intentional listening ritual from beginning to end, rather than fragmenting the album into standalone tracks. Through its flowing dynamics and thoughtful pacing, "Red Goddess" becomes the kind of record you put on to transform the energy of a room, whether for concentrated listening, reading, or quiet reflection.
