label: Cold Spring, August 2020, file: Dark Folk - Ritual - Dark Ambient
label-info:
La Breiche (the witch) features Yan Arexis (Stille Volk/Common Eider, King Eider…) and Patrick Lafforgue (Stille Volk/Hantaoma).
The two musicians are also the creators of the cult festival L’Homme Sauvage, held in Midi-Pyrenees each year.
After their 2017 debut "Le Mal des Ardents" (Cold Spring), "Le Rite" opens a new door, with post-folk sounds close to post-
rock, influenced by ancient music, with folk used in a modernist way. Dark, ambient and yet mystical... deep with grandiose landscapes.
The sound of La Breiche is situated at the crossroads of early music and dark ambient; ambient music, industrial music with a strong ritual dimension. Their electro-acoustic is
music based on old instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy, mixed with analogue synths, field recordings, and ritual objects, taking a mystified look at nature, archaic societies,rites, beliefs and lores, animism.
