Mezzosoprano Monica Richards (a former Strange Boutique)
and multi-instrumentalist William Faith
(a Christian Death alumnus) are
Faith And The Muse , whose
Elyria (Tess, 1994) is an atmospheric collection of dusky lieder and
eerie instrumentals.
The songs range from melodic (Sparks, Mercyground,
Elyria) to medieval (Vervain, The Unquiet Grave) to
celtic (All Lovers Lost) to a spectral Nico-esque a-cappella elegy
(Iago's Demise).
Both the songs and the instrumentals are further refined on
Annwyn Beneath The Waves (Tess, 1996), so much so that the former sound
more like folk-pop songs than mere gothic pieces
(Rise And Fall, The Hand Of Man)
and the latter rank with the best of ambient music.
