about

'Every once in a while I seem to find myself in the position of being able to release music that is truly outstanding. This is the case with this album from Embertides. Having been kept in the loop via Grey Malkin concerning this music for a long time, it's really only over the last few weeks that I have come to terms with the epic mind boggling grandeur of listening to the finished piece of music in full. It's probably true to say that all three band members have never been involved with music quite like this before. This is my album of the year.....no doubt.

Embertides are David Colohan, Daughters of Grief & Grey Malkin. Together they have created "Between Trees & Starlike". Over a year in the making it contains four tracks. Both David and Grey were channeling Coil at times during the recording, particularly on the title track. You can also hear the haunting influence of Popul Vuh. If thats not enough, I must also mention the glorious and stunning vocal range of Daughters Of Grief which morphs in and out of the music to great effect.' Roger Linney, Reverb Worship

Music, vocals & spoken word by Embertides.

Embertides are David Colohan, Daughters of Grief & Grey Malkin.

Recorded between Scotland, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. David’s vocals on ‘And The Ground Became Bare Fields Again’ recorded in a phone box in Hamburg, Germany.

This album is an offering to Mother Moon, upon whose white & shapeless mask we can depend.

Her antiquity in preceding and surviving succeeding tellurian generations: her nocturnal predominance: her satellitic dependence: her luminary reflection: her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning: the forced invariability of her aspect: her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation: her potency over effluent and refluent waters: her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency: the tranquil inscrutability of her visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant resplendent propinquity: her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence: her splendour, when visible: her attraction, when invisible

James Joyce - Ulysses

Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth, -
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?

Shelley – To The Moon

Don't tell me the moon is shining
Show me the glint of light on broken glass

Anton Chekhov - source unknown

about

David Colohan Ireland

'An eerie loveliness that should really be soundtracking a Werner Herzog film; indeed Popol Vuh’s work provides a useful reference point as, similar to Vuh, the music herein is almost religious in its solemnity and grace.' The Active Listener

Captures the miraculous feeling of being seated near a window inside a warm house while the winter rages outside, and the melancholy that attends the backward glances that are inevitable on such evenings. Matthew Doucet
