Secret Heart Of The World - Musik

Lux Interna Lux Interna The Innermost Light – An Esoteric Term That Carries Intonations Of Gnosticism Describes The Nature Of Lux Interna’s Music Very Aptly. Singer/songwriter Joshua Levi Ian Gentzke Founded The Group Some Ten Years Ago As An Outlet For Folk-Inspired Songs With Demanding Lyrics Revolving Around Mystical Topics Of An Existential Nature. The Voice Of This Music Bespeaks A Blakean Quest For The Divine Within This World. He Is Aided And Abetted In This Quest By His Co-Conspirators Kathryn Gentzke Katherine Trimble Kevin Sweet And Shane Hallinan All Adding Vocal Visual And Musical Textures To The Songs. Lux Interna Have Frequently Been Compared To Artists Such As Current 93 Backworld Leonard Cohen And Nick Cave. This Rings True However Not In Terms Of Imitation But Rather In The Sense Of A Shared Spiritual And Aesthetic Kinship. Musically One Can Expect A Deep Passionate Male Voice And A Soothing Sometimes Ghost-Like Female Vocal Woven Into Well-Crafted Songs Arranged For Acoustic Guitars Cello Keyboards And Dulcimers. Over The Course Of Four Studio Releases And A Row Of Concerts Mainly In Europe Lux Interna Has Emerged As One Of The Most Original And Essential Ensembles Of The Dark Folk Genre Although The Sheer Quality Of Their Music Surpasses Any Clichéd Niches. “Lux Interna Trust Their Own Muse Without Glancing Sideways On Genre Conventions Or Commercial Appeal They Create Folksongs That Are As Catchy As They Are Complex And That Confront The Listeners With Painful Questions Concerning The Disenchantment Of The World And Their Own Fickle Place In This World.” – A.
