Ghostlore of Britain - Holy Sickness & the Boundless Majesty - CD

The Holy Sickness & The Boundless Majesty is an album made from Ghostlore of Britain's experience of traversing the Sussex landscape, undertaking a psychic drift to unearth interconnected histories, memories and premonitions. It spans the sounds of traditional folk, hypnotic drone and bass heavy UK dance music, interwoven with field recordings and samples, TB-303, harp and guitar. Ghostlore chose Sussex as the scene of their second drift as it is where Kieron and Sarah respectively spent their formative years. Further, the deaths of three people in 2022 connected to Sussex who were significant to them both, one of which was Sarah's father, prompted an urgent investigation into the geographical, personal and psychic ties to the county. The journey began in a 19th Century sandstone mine, a cave close to Chanctonbury Ring. Sounds of groaning and groping are overlaid in the dark. The cave is where you are truly alone in the void.

The Holy Sickness & The Boundless Majesty is an album made from Ghostlore of Britain's experience of traversing the Sussex landscape, undertaking a psychic drift to unearth interconnected histories, memories and premonitions. It spans the sounds of traditional folk, hypnotic drone and bass heavy UK dance music, interwoven with field recordings and samples, TB-303, harp and guitar. Ghostlore chose Sussex as the scene of their second drift as it is where Kieron and Sarah respectively spent their formative years. Further, the deaths of three people in 2022 connected to Sussex who were significant to them both, one of which was Sarah's father, prompted an urgent investigation into the geographical, personal and psychic ties to the county. The journey began in a 19th Century sandstone mine, a cave close to Chanctonbury Ring. Sounds of groaning and groping are overlaid in the dark. The cave is where you are truly alone in the void. Hopeful choral vocals emerge from the depths; light within the darkness of psychic suffering. Reworked sampling of a church organ accompanies Sarah's voice, redolent of the sounds of Christian faith, its churches interlaced into the Sussex countryside. Ghostlore's secret recordings of chants in the monastic lay commune synchronise with synthetic drums and samples, the rhythm punctured by a reconstructed 'carynx'. Spurred on by marching drums and sub bass echoing from the parties held on the South Downs - it's how a spectral Iron Age battle might sound if made on a laptop. Ghostlore's investigations into parapolitics, espionage, and polarised modern cults seek to reveal layers of reality within the experience of place whilst allowing a formative spiritual attachment to occur. The battle is outside and therefore within. As such, this album is not only an attempt at a personal transformative journey from darkness into the light but also an examination of landscape mysticism for the sake of demystification.
