IU: Water Is The Sun, Silver Rein, Victoria Anine Waples

Water is the Sun melds the minds of Adam Parks (Timber Rattle, Lightning White Bison) and Mkl Anderson (Drekka, lovesliescrushing), precipitating a melodic, funereal psyche-pastoral that is as informed by the angelic harmonies of West Coast cults and Appalachian hymns as it is by the dark new age and ambient resonance of the experimental scene that has embraced and supported both musicians for many years.

Silver Rein is an Ithaca NY-based performing artist, whose music explores feelings of isolation and belonging, life and death against the landscape of an old yet familiar world. Electric cello meets soft to soaring operatic vocals in this goth folk music experience. Described by listeners as “Viking dungeon music” “Celtic” and “a spiritual experience,” Silver Rein casts spells of the ages.

Victoria Anine Waples makes soundscapes and vocal harmonies.
