Duncan Evans / Wilderness Hymnal
Until Liars Fear You
Trepanation Recordings
Release: 5 November 2021
Stolen fire, flickering stars, dark water in the well.
We long to escape the simmering pall of uncertainty. To let go of how the past has marked us and to avoid freezing, deer-like, at our fear of what might come next.
That is where this split record by DUNCAN EVANS and WILDERNESS HYMNAL opens.
Until Liars Fear You is an album about overcoming violence, and escaping both grief from the past and fear of the future to instead nurture the silver linings of hope and redemption.
Snuff out those blazing stars, press purple tales in your memoirs – wait ‘til liars fear you, wait for love to hear you
Until Liars Fear You will be released on CD, cassette and digital download formats via Trepanation Recordings on November 5th 2021.
About Wilderness Hymnal: –
Born in Gibraltar to British-Venezuelan parents, Javier Wallis is hard to place at the best of times. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, his work as Wilderness Hymnal fuses elements of European folk, drone, post-metal, chamber music and glacial electronics into a seamless psychedelic whole. This restless and irreverent approach to genre finds him most at home in the hinterland of atmospheric heavy music shared by Chelsea Wolfe, Grails and Ulver. He is now based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and his music has received support from tastemakers including Mary Anne Hobbs & Stuart Maconie (BBC Radio), Simon Raymonde (Bella Union) and Uncut Magazine.
